The Cleveland Browns exercised the fifth-year option for quarterback Baker Mayfield last month, a move that links the former No. 1 overall pick with the franchise through at least the 2022 NFL season.
In other news regarding Tiger Woods, he spoke to CBS Sports’ host Jim Nantz for a brief period during the final round of the Genesis Invitational, and the topic of the Augusta National didn’t take long to come up.
Nantz asked Woods how his recovery was going and whether he was confident of being able to tee it up in the year’s first major in seven weeks’ time.
“God I hope so, I’ve got to get there first,” said Woods.
“A lot of it is based on my surgeons, my doctors, my therapists, and making sure that I do it correctly because this is the only back I’ve got, so I don’t know how much wiggle room we’ve left here.”

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona continues to deal with health setbacks not linked with COVID-19 infections amid the coronavirus pandemic.
As WKYC s Ben Axelrod explained, Francona missed the majority of the pandemic-shortened 2020 MLB season due to lingering gastrointestinal issues and, later, a blood clotting problem. The 61-year-old then told reporters on Friday that he recently underwent an operation for a staph infection in his left big toe that will leave him on crutches through at least the first few weeks of spring training:
Terry Francona said that he started to get treated for gout in November. In mid-January he came back to the Cleveland Clinic and they found a staph infection in his left foot. He had to get some of the bone removed and cement was put in. He’s on crutches and in a boot now. Mandy Bell (@MandyBell02) February 19, 2021
