Baker Mayfield News: Left tackle out to begin season

Mayfield's All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs likely will begin the season on the PUP list after undergoing knee surgery Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

This means that Wirfs would miss at least the first four games of the season. Those games include a big division game at Atlanta on the road Week 1, a tough road game at Houston in Week 2 and a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles. With Mayfield already being a regression candidate following a career year and the departure of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, this news is a significant setback as well.
