One of the big conversations in the week heading into the first meeting of the season between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers is who will be under center for the home team in Ohio. The Steelers will have their buckeye state native on the field in the form of Ben Roethlisberger, but who will be slinging the ball for the Browns?
Their starter is, of course, Baker Mayfield, the former first-overall draft pick, but he has been dealing with some significant injuries this year, and missed the team’s most recent game last Thursday. He has a torn labrum and a fractured humerus—yet he’s practicing.
