The Buffalo Bills have acquired QB Case Keenum from Cleveland for a late-round draft pick.

Keenum was moved to make room from Jacoby Brissett. Keenum has landed in one of the better back-up situations in the NFL.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters Tuesday that QB Baker Mayfield will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Case Keenum is likely to start.

The Browns season is over and there is no reason to delay Mayfield's surgery any longer. His offseason will be rehab and potentially picking a new place to play football.

It’ll be Nick Mullens starting today against the Raiders, per sources.

Browns QBs Mayfield and Keenum didn’t test out of COVID protocols heading into the first of two Monday night games in Week 15, even needing just one negative test now. One would think it should be a heavy dose of Nick Chubb and then D'Ernest Johnson in the passing game and passing situations for the Browns tonight.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and is in danger of missing Saturday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

COVID is crushing teams across multiple sports and it is now to the point where postponements may make sense. If the game goes on sans-Mayfield, Case Keenum would get his second start of the season.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield (torn left labrum and shoulder fracture) received medical clearance last night to play and is expected to start Sunday.

Mayfield has full range of motion in the shoulder, which helped with him being cleared. It is going to be tough to trust that his health can remain on the up and up for the rest of the season, but the Browns are willing to risk it for the biscuit.

According to a source close to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, shutting down Mayfield for the season is not a prevailing theme as they prepare for Steelers. More about whether they can get swelling to subside before Sunday.

This seems like a lot of work to put a band-aid over a bullet wound. Mayfield is one wrong hit away from major surgery, but with the playoffs a realistic option in 2021, the Browns would rather have 75% of Mayfield than Case Keenum.

In addition to Browns Baker Mayfield not being at practice in the early part open to the media, John Johnson III, JC Tretter, Malik Jackson and David Njoku also weren't there. Nick Chubb and Jack Conklin were back.

If Mayfield can't go in Week 8 with the shoulder injury, it would be Keenum getting the start as the Browns try to keep their season alive despite all kinds of injuries. The team would certainly get a boost with the return of Chubb at RB, likely sliding Johnson down to the RB2 role, which would seem to still have fantasy relevance as the Browns should remain run-heavy.

Browns QB Case Keenum will start in place of Baker Mayfield (torn left labrum) Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.

Mayfield's shoulder became an increasing issue after the labrum was confirmed to be completely torn and separated during Cleveland's Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. It is unknown how long Keenum will be the starter for the Browns but his matchup this week is far from ideal.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said in his Tuesday press conference that Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry both have a chance to play against Denver.

It's good news for the Browns on the injury front - finally. The team will be without their top-two RBs, so having Beckham and Landry in the passing game will help their chances. Mayfield was reportedly limited in practice Tuesday, but even if Keenum has to start having Beckham and Landry will be a plus. Beckham injured his shoulder in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Landry was designated for return from injured reserve last week, but missed his fourth straight game with a knee injury on Sunday, the story said.

The Browns at this point do not fear Baker Mayfield’s left shoulder injury is season-ending or will require surgery immediately, per league source.

Trotter went on to say the Browns are still waiting on the second opinion. Mayfield's doctor is getting MRI scans today, according to the tweet, and his status is still to be determined for Thursday’s game vs. Denver. Mayfield has said it will be his decision to play, according to other reports, but it will likely still be the team's call in the end. Keenum would get the start of Mayfield doesn't play.
