Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that quarterback Baker Mayfield won’t play in the team’s Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, as the quarterback will undergo surgery "as soon as possible." "Baker won’t play in this last game, we’re going to hold him out," he said. "He’s going to get surgery scheduled as soon as possible so he can get back healthy as soon as possible." The head coach said all decisions up to this point were made according to all information available at the time and said he’s frustrated that the quarterback won’t have a chance to finish the season. Mayfield — who was expected to strike a lucrative long-term contract with the Browns heading into this season — is due $18.858 million fully guaranteed on his fifth-year option in 2022.
