The Cleveland Browns are hit with the injury bug on a short week as an important game against the Denver Broncos is on the docket for Thursday night.
Baker Mayfield is set to miss the game and will be replaced by Case Keenum. The former Minnesota Vikings starter is set to be the 31st different Browns quarterback to start since the team re-emerged in 1999. Keenum said he’s ready to play.
"I feel very ready. I’ve been ready," Keenum told reporters. "You can say, ‘You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready’ and I’ve been ready since I got here."

Mayfield is dealing with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and was gunning to play, but the short week cost him some time to heal up. Cleveland is going to need Mayfield when the team plays the Pittsburgh Steelers on Halloween.
"Case Keenum will be our starter tomorrow night and we have full confidence in him to lead us and do the things necessary to put us in position to win," coach Kevin Stefanski said. "Baker fought really hard to play, he’s a competitor and obviously wants to be out there but just couldn’t make it on a short week. We know he will continue to do everything in his power to return as quickly as possible."

Keenum is a journeyman quarterback who has been Mayfield's backup since 2020. He hasn't started a game since 2019 with Washington. He has 14,420 passing yards, 75 touchdown passes and 47 interceptions since entering the NFL in 2012.
Keenum marks another chapter in Browns’ history with starting quarterbacks. Here’s a brief look at each Cleveland starter since the team re-entered the league in 1999.
