Bucs QB Baker Mayfield’s Week 11 Availability In Doubt

The injury bug continues to bite Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield in 2026. After missing three games due to the dislocated thumb he suffered in Week 3, the 31-year-old returned in Week 7, but an injury to his foot and ankle area has put his availability for Week 11 in doubt, per ESPN’s Mike Garafolo.

As Garafolo relays, Mayfield was slow to get to his feet after a few hits he took in the fourth quarter of a narrow Week 9 loss to the Bears. That included a play in which Chicago defensive tackles Grady Jarrett and Jeffery Simmons combined to sack Mayfield in an awkward fashion.

Mayfield did not leave the game and in fact rushed for a game-tying two-point conversion late in the contest.
