Mayfield dislocates shoulder, expects to play through injury
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said he'll play Thursday night despite dislocating his shoulder against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
The Browns quarterback showed up to the postgame presser in a sling and told reporters his arm "feels like shit." He will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter.

"It dislocated again and slipped out again on a non-contact play," Mayfield said.
Mayfield landed hard on his shoulder after getting strip-sacked by Cardinals pass-rusher J.J. Watt. He was evaluated in the medical tent before returning to the game.
Injuries have bothered the 26-year-old signal-caller this season. Mayfield is reportedly playing through a partially torn labrum in the same shoulder after taking a big hit in Week 2.
The Browns dropped their second straight contest Sunday, losing 37-14 to the Cardinals. Cleveland, now 3-3, will take on the Denver Broncos on Thursday.
