UNDATED — Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield says he expects to play Thursday night against the Denver Broncos despite a painful left shoulder.
The injury has worsened since he hurt it a month ago while trying to make a tackle. He says the decision to play will be made by the team.
Mayfield re-injured his non-throwing shoulder Sunday and was late joining his teammates on the practice field Tuesday. He did throw a couple of passes at the very end of the portion open to reporters.
Checking other NFL news:
— The Bears have placed linebacker Robert Quinn on the reserve/COVID-19 list. That could leave them without one of their top pass rushers when they visit Tom Brady and the defending champion Buccaneers on Sunday.
— The Ravens have put tackle Ronnie Stanley on injured reserve. Stanley spent the latter half of last season on IR because of an ankle injury, and he’s played only in the season opener this year due to ankle pain.
— The Jaguars cut veteran kicker Josh Lambo, two days after unheralded Matt Wright hit two field goals from beyond 50 yards in the final minutes of Sunday’s win against the Dolphins. Lambo was the most accurate kicker in the league from 2017-20, but he was inactive the last three games while dealing with confidence issues.
— Police say Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in a Dallas suburb. Kazee was pulled over in the suburb next to Frisco, the location of team headquarters about 30 miles north of Dallas.
— The NFL is set to propose changes to the $1 billion concussion settlement after an outcry over test score adjustments that make it harder for retired Black players to win dementia awards that average $500,000 or more. About 70% of active players and more than 60% of living retirees are Black.
