Baker Mayfield cleared to start vs. Steelers

The massive upcoming showdown between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers just got a whole lot more intriguing. Baker Mayfield's status was up in the air, as he's dealing with a serious shoulder injury.

However, Ian Rapoport just dropped a big news piece, as Mayfield has been cleared to suit up and run the offense against Ben Roethlisberger and Co.

While Case Keenum looked strong at times last week against Denver, this is a completely different team when Mayfield is in action. Now, the former No. 1 overall pick will look to power his team over Pittsburgh in what should be a great contest.
