Mayfield On Hand Injury: “Mama Didn’t Raise A Wuss”

Baker Mayfield is still dealing with an injury he suffered when he hit his hand on Steeler’s linebacker Bud Dupree’s facemask in the Browns 20-13 loss to the Steelers.

Despite the injury, Mayfield was able to return and play the second half in the game.

Unlike a similar injury Drew Brees suffered earlier this year, the Browns were fortunate.

Mayfield was asked about how wearing a glove affected his play:

“It just took some getting used warming up,” Mayfield said. “I’ve thrown with a glove, but I’ve never played with one, so it was a little different, but I got used to it. I thought I played fine.

Baker Mayfield isn’t throwing in practice, but he doesn’t seem too concerned about his availability this Sunday against the Bengals.

“Mama didn’t raise a wuss,” Mayfield said via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal while talking about playing this Sunday.

“I’d say if Bud Dupree was there just a millisecond earlier, it could’ve been pretty bad, but I’m pretty fortunate,” Mayfield said.

“From everything that they evaluated, it’s just a nice contusion, bruise, whatever you want to call it.”

“I’ll try and go tomorrow for sure,” Mayfield said.

Mayfield is also showing on the Browns/Bengals injury report for a rib injury.

In other news, Greg Robinson who missed last week’s game with concussion symptoms, was back at practice today.

Safety Eric Murray who has also been out 5 games this year was back on the practice field as well.

Kitchens also mentioned he has not made a decision on whether tight end David Njoku will play this week and is still day-to-day.

Still no word on Olivier Vernon and his status for Sunday’s game.
