Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield says X-rays negative after late hit to ribs

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said X-rays did not reveal any fractures after taking a late hit to the ribs in the Bucs' 23-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints Sunday.

"Ribs don't feel too great right now," Mayfield said. "But we'll do some more exams to see what's really bugging me, but don't have anything right now so it's just sore."

The hit came on a two-point conversion attempt after a 47-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Godwin with 1:47 to go. Mayfield had left the pocket and safety Tyrann Mathieu was giving a roughing the passer penalty when he slammed into Mayfield's chest right after the ball got out.
