Tampa Bay 'Not Ruling Out' Baker Mayfield For Week 13 Before MRI Comes In

Making matters worse for the Buccaneers was that starting quarterback Baker Mayfield went down with a shoulder injury that forced him to leave the game, and he did not return, ultimately taking in the rest of the contest from the sidelines. While there has been no definitive word on Mayfield's status moving forward, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter dropped a slightly encouraging update on Monday.

When Mayfield went out, it was Teddy Bridgewater who came into the game for the Buccaneers, and actually performed relatively well, considering the circumstances.
However, clearly, any chances that Tampa Bay has of making a deep run in this postseason, or even securing a spot in the postseason to begin with, rise and fall with the availability of Mayfield moving forward.

Their game against the Cardinals is set to kick off at 1:00 pm ET from Tampa Bay, and fans will certainly hope to have Mayfield in the lineup at that time.
