Browns
- According to multiple sources, Browns WR Odell Beckham‘s talent has been wasted in a “dysfunctional” offense. (Cabot)

- Baker Mayfield said the teamโs medical staff didnโt handle Beckhamโs sports hernia correctly and he shouldโve had surgery in training camp: โWasnโt handled right. Heโs not able to run as well as he should be able to โ and thatโs frustrating to him.โ (Ian Rapoport)
- Mayfield said of the Fox Sports report: “The first I was hearing of it was [after the game]. The drama is the drama on the outside. We continue to focus on what’s in our building and harp on the important things.” (Nate Ulrich)
- Mayfield clarified his comments on Twitter: โMy intentions were not to throw our medical staff under the bus. No I donโt know all the facts about Odellโs injury. It was emotionally answered because I can sense his frustration and I care about my team and putting us in the best position to win,โ Mayfield wrote. โThose people within our building know my intentions and where I am coming from. I truly believe that and I apologize to those that donโt deserve the backlash. . . . Today was a good team win. On to the next one.โ
