Baker Mayfield is still preparing to face the Denver Broncos on Thursday night despite aggravating the torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.

The Cleveland Browns are hoping Mayfield can avoid season-ending surgery, according to a source.

"I work with my physiotherapist Dave [Matthews] and do everything I possibly can. After that, it's pain tolerance and wanting to be out there for my guys," Mayfield said of his left shoulder.

Mayfield suffered the shoulder injury -- initially reported as a partially torn labrum -- on Sept. 19 while attempting to make a tackle after an interception. He continued to play through it, wearing a harness on the shoulder for support.
