CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield reinjured his left non-throwing shoulder in a 37-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Mayfield’s injury wasn’t the only significant one as running back Kareem Hunt suffered a potentially serious calf injury.
Mayfield insists he’ll be able to play Thursday night against Denver. He and Hunt are scheduled to undergo more imaging tests Monday.
Those injuries have complicated things for the Browns, who were already without star running back Nick Chubb due to a calf injury and starting tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills Jr. both sat out with injuries.
The Browns have lost two straight under coach Kevin Stefanski for the first time.
Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes as the Cardinals remained the NFL’s only unbeaten team.
They continued their best start since 1974 despite not having coach Kliff Kingsbury, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week.
The Cardinals built a 20-0 lead in the first half and moved their record to 6-0.
