Yes, he’s been banged up for weeks (while not missing a snap) and addressed his physical situation more today.
“No setbacks” were expereinced for Mayfield’s oblique and knee challenges Sunday against the Patriots, he said, adding he only got hit “a couple of times” against New England.
Mayfield also went to the cliché that everyone in the NFL has physical challenges this time of year. But the Bucs’ franchise quarterback also acknowledged that part of him not having one rushing attempt in the past three games is tied to him “not feeeling like I was able to get up to full speed scrambling to throw.”
Still, Joe saw Mayfield scramble beautifully on his late touchdown throw Sunday to Tez Johnson. He’s got enough juice in his arms and legs to lead the Bucs to wins.
At this point, it’s unlikely Mayfield gets much healthier.
