MRI shows Baker Mayfield has low-grade sprain in left shoulder, might play this week
Our Summary
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield received optimistic news regarding his left shoulder injury, confirmed as a low-grade sprain following an MRI, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The injury, sustained during Sunday night's game, affects Mayfield's non-throwing shoulder and suggests a possibility of him playing in the upcoming game against the Cardinals. The Buccaneers, currently on a three-game losing streak, are hopeful for Mayfield's participation to avoid relying on backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. If Mayfield is unable to play, Bridgewater is set to make his first start since his time with the Dolphins in 2022.
