Mayfield has already been ruled out for Thursday's Week 7 game against the Broncos. It's unclear how much time he might miss, though. He'll likely attempt to play through the injury to his non-throwing shoulder, but it'll certainly have an affect on his overall production.

"It's my decision. I get to say whether I play or not and that's just how it is," Mayfield told reporters on Tuesday. His left shoulder surgery reportedly isn't season-ending, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be while playing through it. Case Keenum is the team's backup if Mayfield is forced to miss any time this year.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 19-of-28 passes for 234 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 37-14 loss to the Cardinals in Week 6.

Mayfield also lost two fumbles. Even worse than the turnovers, he reinjured his troublesome left shoulder while trying to recover one of his fumbles. The veteran quarterback was spotted with his left arm in a sling after the game but he said that he will try to play through it. He doesn't have much time to heal as the Browns face the Broncos on Thursday night. Mayfield will be a QB3 in fantasy for that contest.
