It appears Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will have a crucial weapon against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Cleveland wide receiver Odell Beckham, dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, should be good to go, a source tells NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. However, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, groin) is a game-time decision.
In five games this season, Beckham has 16 receptions for 223 yards and still looking for his first TD catch.
The Browns (4-3) play host to the Steelers (3-3) in a key AFC North battle at 1 p.m. ET.
