""He looked good today so he is trending to play," Bowles said after practice. "He had to get well. He was very limited on Wednesday, he did a little more yesterday and he moved around perfectly today, so he's fine.""
""I don't think I was physically able to do the things I wanted to in 2021 with a hurt shoulder. That's the biggest thing, [I] don't want to hold this team back," Mayfield said."
""[This injury is] very different," Mayfield said. "I had dislocated my shoulder completely, had a torn labrum, partial [tear in the] rotator cuff and cracked the bone in the socket, so it's very different. Now, it's just truly about pain tolerance management, being able to move around and being able to throw and go from there.""
Baker Mayfield is trending to play Sunday after suffering a low-grade sprain to his left non-throwing AC joint. The injury forced him to miss the second half of the 34-7 loss to the Rams and the Buccaneers have lost three straight. An MRI revealed no structural damage, and Mayfield rested while backup Teddy Bridgewater received the majority of practice reps. Pain has decreased and mobility improved over the week. Mayfield contrasted the current injury with his severe 2021 shoulder dislocation and emphasized management of pain tolerance and ability to throw. The team views the next five games as must-win situations.
