Browns wary of Baker without Odell after loss of Beckham
Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield refused to discuss Beckham removal while coach Kevin Stefanski rejected the idea that Cleveland plays better without its No 1 receiver. Beckham suffered a season-ending ACL injury in a 37 34 win over Cincinnati, prompting questions about how the offense will adapt without him. Stefanski stressed the team is built around 11 players and the QB, not one man, and Mayfield said he would rather have Beckham on the field if available.
