Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 13 against the Cardinals.

28 November 2025

Mayfield practiced fully on Friday, and head coach Todd Bowles said Mayfield is trending toward playing. From what we can see, we believe him. Mayfield sprained the AC joint in his left, non-throwing shoulder last weekend. This will be a problem if he takes a big hit, or lands directly on it, but he should be able to complete the throwing motion and scramble as needed. The re-injury risk lowers his ceiling, but Mayfield will warrant borderline QB1/2 treatment if active.
