Browns' Tyrod Taylor: Slated to back up Mayfield

Once he's cleared from his concussion, Taylor will serve as Baker Mayfield's backup.

Taylor's concussion Week 3 opened the door for Mayfield to step into the fray Thursday night against the Jets. The rookie's sharp performance in the Browns' 21-17 win then left little doubt that he'd draw the start for a Week 4 game against the Raiders. Unless Mayfield falls completely flat, or suffers an injury, Taylor will continue on as veteran QB insurance and as a mentor to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
