Baker Mayfield in for Tyrod Taylor at Quarterback in Second Quarter of Browns-Jets

Baker Mayfield has taken the field for the first time in a regular-season NFL game as Tyrod Taylor's replacement in Thursday's game against the Jets.

Taylor suffered an undisclosed injury and was forced to go into the medical tent late in the second quarter.

The Browns used the No. 1 pick in 2018 on the quarterback from Oklahoma, but coach Hue Jackson said the plan for this season was to go with Taylor as the starting quarterback.

In the first two games this season, Taylor completed 52.9% of his passes for 443 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
