Bucs' Baker Mayfield (knee) gets DNP tag for Monday walkthrough ahead of Week 8
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers listed quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) as a non-participant for Monday on their estimated practice report ahead of Thursday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills.
What It Means:
Mayfield was able to play the full game for Tampa Bay in Week 7's win over the Atlanta Falcons so it seems unlikely that he'll miss the team's Week 8 game, even on a short week. Look for Mayfield to log at least one limited practice over the next few days as a sign that he'll suit up against the Bills on Thursday.
Mayfield has been having a solid season in his first campaign with the Bucs, helping to lead the team to a 3-3 record in a win-able division. If the journeyman is forced to sit out in Week 8 there would likely be steep drop off from him to backup quarterback Kyle Trask.
