Baker Mayfield underwent surgery for the torn labrum in his left shoulder. The Cleveland Browns quarterback says he’s on track to return to his “true self”. Mayfield suffered the injury in Week 2, but managed to play through the injury. He missed only three games for Cleveland, which was eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. Mayfield is expected to be cleared by training camp or possibly sooner. His estimated time of recovery is four to six months.
The NFL is fining Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians 50-thousand-dollars for swiping his hand at safety Andrew Adams’ helmet during the wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Arians was seen slapping Adams’ helmet hard with an open hand and then elbowing him after he was trying to pull a player out of a pile.
A note to Arians stated that he displayed conduct directed towards players that fell below standards expected of an NFL head coach. Arians said that he will appeal the fine.
