Baker Mayfield wont be cleared to return
Doctors for the and for quarterback were in lockstep that he could not be allowed to play Thursday night with a significant left shoulder injury, sources said, and he could mi s more games to come. Mayfield was pushing to play again, wearing a harne s to try Paul Molitor Jerseyto protect his non-throwing shoulder, but the decision was taken out of his hands.Mayfield has endured two ma sive blows to that shoulder, including in Week 6 when he suffered a torn labrum, and he told FOX that he also has a fractured shoulder bone. Sources said the swelling from this latest injury made it impo sible for Mayfield to go through the rehab work nece sary to strengthen the muscles in that areaJhoulys Chacin Jersey sufficiently to play Thursday night, and he may not be able to do so for Week 8, either. Unle s the doctors feel that Mayfield has the nece sary physical wherewithal to " Christian Yelich Jersey adequately protect himself" from further injury, he will not return, I'm told, and there is always the po sibility that more damage to the shoulder will hasten the timeline for a surgical procedure, which would result in a more sustained absence as well.While Mayfield can navigate oncoming danger when he sees it coming, and run out of bounds or slide to avoid contact, the greater concern is with him getting hit from behind; in those instances he is naturally going to be using both arms and shoulders to brace himself, which opens him up to vulnerable situations which the harneYovani Gallardo Jersey s alone cannot mitigate.The Browns are very confident in backup ability to navigate the offense Robin Yount Jersey , and their doctors have been simpatico with the outside opinion through this proce s to this point. Mayfield is determined to attack his rehab as soon as the swelling allows, but avoiding further complications may prove impo sible, something that's not lost on anyone within that organization as the Browns seek a return to the playoffs.
