Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield to start Sunday vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, coach Kevin Stefanski says

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield will start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski announced Friday.

Mayfield sat out last week's game against the Denver Broncos after aggravating a torn labrum injury to his non-throwing shoulder he suffered in Week 2. But after a game off, Mayfield said the inflammation in that left shoulder, which now includes a fracture, was "noticeably better."

As a result, Mayfield took the starter's snaps over backup Case Keenum in practice all week while wearing a shoulder harness underneath his shoulder pads.
