New Bucs Injuries Emerge
November 26th, 2025
Baker Mayfield on Sunday night.
Good news, bad news and no news at One Buc Palace today.
First, the good news, Joe would wager Baker Mayfield will play Sunday against the Cardinals.
Mayfield’s non-throwing shoulder is injured but it’s not a major injury. Mayfield himself said today it likely will be a pain-tolerance thing. Does anyone in their right mind think Mayfield’s going to say, “It hurts too much. I’m out?” Joe doesn’t. Expect Mayfield to find a pain management regimen for Sunday and give it a go.
Mayfield did not practice today during the Bucs’ walk-through. If there was a real practice, edge rusher Anthony Nelson (ribs) wouldn’t have been able to go.
New on the injury report is Tristan Wirfs with a shoulder injury. That could explain his shaky snaps against the Rams. Wirfs was classified as “limited.” Bucky Irving was full-go. The complete Wednesday injury report is below. Yes, the Bucs have a full practice on Thanksgiving.
