Baker Mayfield poised for return as Buccaneers gear up for Cardinals showdown
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are experiencing a timely boost in health as they prepare for a crucial matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The most significant news came on Friday, as head coach Todd Bowles provided an encouraging update regarding quarterback Baker Mayfield’s condition.
Mayfield, who had exited last week’s game due to a shoulder injury, is now reportedly “trending” toward being available for Sunday’s contest. This marks a notable shift from earlier in the week, when uncertainty clouded his status. The prospect of having their starting quarterback back on the field is a welcome relief for the Buccaneers, who are eager to regain their rhythm.
Bowles also confirmed that cornerback Benjamin Morrison and safety Rashad Wisdom, who remains on injured reserve, are the only players definitively ruled out for the upcoming game. As the team inches closer to kickoff, the hopeful return of Mayfield adds a layer of excitement and optimism to the Buccaneers’ preparations.
With the stakes high, the Buccaneers are ready to embrace the challenge against the Cardinals, potentially bolstered by their resilient leader under center.
