Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Forgettable afternoon in loss
Baker Mayfield completed 14 of 30 passes for 122 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding six rushes for 42 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.Mayfield's final line underscores the type of afternoon it was for the normally efficient veteran signal-caller, who surprisingly struggled to a 44.9 QBR in a game for which the Buccaneers were heavily favored. Mayfield connected with Bucky Irving for a 24-yard touchdown pass just before the midway point of the first quarter, but his one interception on a deep pass to Kameron Johnson early in the third quarter led to a Saints touchdown. Mayfield could get Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) back for a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night to help the quarterback bounce back from his lowest passing yardage total in a non-injury-shortened game this season.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Set for Week 14 action
Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.Mayfield opened Week 14 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday due to the AC joint sprain that he suffered in his left shoulder during a Week 12 loss at the Rams. He capped the week with full sessions Thursday and Friday, clearing him to suit up again Sunday. Mayfield's available skill-position talent will be composed of RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, WRs Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard and TE Cade Otton after WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated to return from IR this week, were ruled out by Tampa Bay.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Back to full practice
Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday.Mayfield has been dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder since the midpoint of a Week 12 loss at the Rams, but he played through the issue this past Sunday versus the Cardinals, completing 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while turning six carries into 27 yards. He was among five key Tampa Bay Buccaneers skill-position players to be limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, but all of him, RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WR Chris Godwin (fibula) bumped up to all activity Thursday, while WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated to return from IR this week, again operated with a cap on their reps. Friday's injury report will reveal if either or both of Evans and McMillan have a chance to rejoin Tampa Bay's receiving corps Sunday versus the Saints.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Limited listing Wednesday
Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.Mayfield didn't play after halftime of a Week 12 loss at the Rams due to what eventually was diagnosed as an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Cardinals, completing 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and turning six carries into 27 yards. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers listed all of RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Mike Evans (collarbone, IR), Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) as limited Wednesday, so the overall situation bears watching as the week continues to get a sense of who Mayfield will be throwing to Sunday versus the Saints, assuming he's active himself.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Solid as game manager Sunday
Baker Mayfield completed 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding six carries for 27 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.Mayfield was able to manage effectively despite playing with a left shoulder support following his injury against the Rams last Sunday night, avoiding turnovers and completing passes to nine different targets overall. He also saw Chris Godwin commit a rare drop on a perfectly thrown would-be touchdown pass in the first half, but he did just enough overall to keep Tampa Bay ahead of a feisty Jacoby Brissett-led offense on the other side. Mayfield's two-yard touchdown toss to left tackle Tristan Wirfs late in the first half also extended the veteran signal-caller's streak of games with a TD pass to four, and he'll look for an even more productive performance with presumably better health in a Week 14 home matchup against the Saints.
