The Cleveland Browns were playing on Thursday night Football in Week 7.
Baker Mayfield wasn’t.
The quarterback told FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer prior to the game against the Denver Broncos he has a fractured shoulder in addition to the other injuries keeping him sidelined.
The injury is called tuberosity, which is top of humerus. Once that heals he can come back, he’s hoping he’s back for their next game, reported Glazer.
“I need that fracture to heal for me to get back out there,” he said.

In Mayfield’s absence, Case Keenum started against one of his former teams, Denver,
Mayfield suffered the torn labrum in Week 2, but aggravated the injury again in Sunday’s loss to Arizona. After Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt drove Mayfield’s left shoulder into the turf, he stayed down for several minutes before coming back in to finish the game.
Mayfield had started 53 consecutive games before missing Thursday.
