Browns WR Addresses Getting Blamed for Baker Mayfield’s Injury

In Week 2 of the 2021 season, Baker Mayfield suffered what turned out to be a catastrophic shoulder injury that marked the beginning of the end for his time with the Browns. Then-rookie wide receiver Anthony Schwartz shouldered a bulk of the blame for his role on the play, but he says it wasn’t his fault.

On the play in question, Schwartz was running a deep route to cut in the middle of the field on third-and-13 at midfield against the Texans. But he froze and Mayfield fired the ball right into the hands of safety Justin Reid.
