The Browns offense carries some big question marks heading into their Week six showdown against the Steelers. Although quarterback Baker Mayfield is listed as questionable with a rib and maybe AC joint issue, expect him to take the field on Sunday. The Steelers are tied for first in sacks with 20, so keeping him upright and healthy is going to be a serious concern. Though Kareem Hunt put up 72 yards on the ground last week, he's still working his way back from a groin issue and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. Jarvis Landry also sat out several days with a hip/rib issue and OBJ DNP with an illness but should suit up. As it is non-Covid related, there is a chance he could still recover and play, but the league is understandably being very cautious with cases like this, and he is listed as questionable after missing Thursday and Friday. With issues at QB, RB and both WR spots, they are facing an uphill battle as a unit against a tough divisional opponent.
