The Browns hosted Mayfield (ankle) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Mayfield signed with the Giants in January after spending the first two years of his NFL career with the Falcons. He was placed on the Giants' IR after sustaining an ankle injury during New York's preseason finale, and he was let go one day later with an injury settlement. Mayfield appears to have recovered from his ankle injury, and he'll look to add depth to a Browns' offensive line dealing with injuries to starting guards Jack Conklin (knee) and Jedrick Wills (knee).

Mayfield will not return to Saturday's preseason game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
After coming off the field, Mayfield was taken into the tunnel on a cart and had his right cleat off, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

Falcons' Jalen Mayfield: Back during OTAs
Rotowire
Mayfield (back) was seen taking some reps at right guard during 11-on-11 drills throughout last week's OTA practices, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
The Falcons' 2021 third-round pick missed the entire 2022 NFL season with a back injury, but he's back on the field after having moved past the health issue. During his rookie campaign, Mayfield started all but one game for Atlanta at left guard, but the team now has him taking snaps at right guard. He won't be starting over All-Pro right guard Chris Lindstrom, so it's most likely that Mayfield will serve as a depth piece for the Falcons' offensive line.
