Will suit up Saturday
Mayfield will play in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.
As expected, Mayfield and the rest of the starters will suit up in Saturday's exhibition contest, with the veteran quarterback expected to play for at least the first offensive series and possibly the second as well. Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee), Tez Johnson (groin) and Cade Otton (undisclosed) are all working through injuries, so Mayfield's top pass catchers against Kansas City figure to be veteran Chris Godwin, rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst and tight end Payne Durham.
