TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that quarterback Baker Mayfield's "ribs are sore" but he'll be "fine by Sunday" when the Bucs visit the Carolina Panthers for a must-win Week 18 game.

Mayfield took a late hit from safety Tyrann Mathieu in the Bucs' 23-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Mayfield was injured on the two-point conversion play that followed a 47-yard touchdown to Chris Godwin when Mathieu collided hard with Mayfield's upper body and midsection.
