As high as my hopes for the season were, and as limited as I believe the offense will be with Keenum at QB, I think it makes the most sense to put Mayfield - at least for now - on the IR for 3 weeks, and maybe to shut him down for the year and have the labrum surgery now. The bone fracture is reportedly non-displaced at this time but could easily worsen with another direct hit. Bones need 4-6 weeks to heal and a displaced fracture could result in bone fragments or chips that might really screw up the joint. It sucks, but that fracture has to be allowed to heal.
