Baker Mayfield Injured with Shoulder Sprain in Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a left shoulder sprain during his team's 34-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 12 matchup after exiting at halftime.

Mayfield, who entered the game with the Buccaneers holding a 6-4 record following a 5-1 start to the season, appeared to aggravate an existing discomfort in his throwing shoulder. He had taken a hard hit while scrambling in the second quarter, prompting a visit to the medical tent, but returned to complete a touchdown pass to wide receiver Tez Johnson later in the drive. The injury worsened on the final play of the half, when Mayfield attempted a Hail Mary throw from the Buccaneers' 30-yard line. As he released the ball, he tripped and fell, clutching his left shoulder in pain and kneeling on the field while trainers attended to him. The pass fell incomplete, intercepted by the Rams defense, and Mayfield did not return after halftime.

Before leaving, Mayfield completed 9 of 19 passes for 41 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions, including the pick on the Hail Mary and another on a bobbled reception...
