Browns working through Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr. availability for Thursday
Thursday Night's game is a big big one for the Browns.
Staying healthy is obviously IMO the most important factor for the opportunity of success.
Depth and quality are of course important and you better have a leader for QB.
Can't win with a dumb coach either.

Browns list 20 players on Monday’s injury report
The Browns didn’t practice on Monday and a look at their estimated injury report for shows that they would have had a tough time getting enough bodies on the field to make a workout worthwhile.
Twenty Browns are listed on the report and ten of them would not have practiced ahead of Thursday’s game against the Broncos. That group includes running back Kareem Hunt (calf) and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (ankle). Head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that both players are set to miss extended time.
Maybe Baker could devote a little more time to his commercials. :idunno:
Cleveland Browns quarterback Case Keenum will start Thursday night against the Denver Broncos in place of injured QB Baker Mayfield, the club announced Wednesday.
Mayfield aggravated an injury to his non-throwing shoulder in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals on a tackle by J.J. Watt. The move comes just a day after Mayfield declared that the decision on his playing status would be his alone. Even in the immediate aftermath of the Browns' 37-14 home loss to Arizona, the former No. 1 overall draft pick was steadfast in his determination that he would not miss a game, despite the short week of recovery for a Thursday game.

I hope that somebody is thinking long-term .....

Browns QB Baker Mayfield: Shoulder surgery not a certainty, playing Sunday a possibility
Nobody can say Baker Mayfield isn't optimistic.
On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns quarterback left two doors open regarding his shoulder injury: one to potentially play this Sunday, and another in suggesting that surgery might not be necessary. The latter concern won't be addressed for some time; more pressing is Mayfield's availability for Sunday's home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After missing last week's win over the Denver Broncos, Mayfield said Wednesday that he could be back for the Steelers game, with a caveat:
"If I'm going to hurt the team, I'm not going to go," he said, per Jen Steer of Fox8 News.

The surgery is necessary for Baker.
It's just a matter of when it gets done.
Foolish to play with the injury.Quote:

And the Browns are a team built to win now and I don't think that happens with Case Keenum.
Keenum is the better idea for now.
Browns run the ball a ton, so the O isn't predicated on a star QB who throws all the time.
Maybe he should get some advice from Jack Eichel.Quote:

Remember reading here " I wish we were Cleveland " 2 years back by a few posters.
Glad we are not.
