Browns' Mayfield won't get 1st-team reps in preseason

Baker Mayfield impressed in his preseason debut, but he won't be climbing the depth chart anytime soon.

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that Mayfield won't get any first-team reps in the preseason.

"I have not changed. I'm not going to change," Jackson said. "Tyrod Taylor's the starting quarterback here, and Baker's the future of the organization."

Playing behind Taylor in Week 1 of the preseason, Mayfield completed 11 of his 20 passes and threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns.

The showing intensified debates about whether he'll become the starter sooner than envisioned.

"This is for the betterment not only of the organization long term, but it's also better for the development of Baker, in terms of when it comes time for him to actually step on the field and play," general manager John Dorsey told Pelissero.
