  • Stefanski defended the decision to have QB Baker Mayfield play through injuries: โ€œWeโ€™ll always defer to medical staff in making sure a guyโ€™s ready to go and weโ€™ll have discussions with player in the same vein. Heโ€™s ready to play and ready to help the team win, but weโ€™ll have those convos week to week.โ€ (Nate Ulrich)
