The Buccaneers are on a bye week and are hoping quarterback Baker Mayfield can play when they return to action in Week 11.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Mayfield treated with a lower leg injury he suffered during the team’s Week 9 loss to the Bears. Mayfield didn’t leave the 27-24 loss, but Garafolo reports he was in a walking boot at times this week.
Although Mayfield’s availability for next weekend’s game in Detroit is in question, he is not expected to miss extended time due to his injury. This is good news for the Buccaneers because their 3-6 record doesn’t give them too much room to lose more games while still remaining in the NFC South title race.
Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels started three games while Mayfield was out with a dislocated thumb and he’s reportedly set to start again if Mayfield isn’t able to go.
