The left shoulder issue that will require surgery in the off-season is one of the many injuries that Mayfield has battled. He's played through a lot of injuries.
He has posted 2,603 passing yards, 13 touchdown and seven interceptions, and has completed 62.8% of his passes.

After signing with the team in September, Mullens will make his first start. He made 16 starts for the San Francisco 49ers.
Kyle Lauletta will be the backup on Monday.
