A Browns’ spokesperson said that Mayfield should be throwing by April, in a light major. The timetable of recovery will be approximately 4-6 months, Mayfield will participate on a limited basis for Cleveland’s offseason program. Mayfield should be ready to go and fully recovered by the start of next training camp.

This is the first step in what Mayfield hopes to be a bounce back season. It will be a career year for Mayfield that could make him or break him. For the Browns it’s a vital year for their franchise. Getting Mayfield back to 100% is a must and a step in the right direction when that time comes.
