BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been playing with a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
Mayfield suffered the injury to the non-throwing shoulder on Sept. 19 while trying to make a tackle against the Houston Texans, and has been wearing a shoulder harness since.
Mayfield is coming off arguably his worst game in almost a year. He completed only 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards in Cleveland's 14-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Still, Mayfield has downplayed both the injury and the harness, saying they "should not" be affecting his throws.
