Four months after Baker Mayfield's left shoulder popped out when he attempted a tackle on an interception return in Week 2, the Browns quarterback had surgery on the completely torn labrum he suffered.
Dr. Orr Limpisvasti performed the surgery Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. Limpisvasti provided second opinions on Mayfield's shoulder during a disappointing 2021 season for the Browns, who went 8-9 and missed the playoffs a year after they advanced to the divisional round.
To be clear, the surgery was on Mayfield's labrum, and the fractured humerus bone he suffered in the same non-throwing shoulder did not need to be surgically repaired, two people familiar with the situation told the Beacon Journal.
