Tampa Bay Buccaneers Breakdown: Baker Mayfield’s Shoulder Injury and a Season at the Crossroads

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered more than a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams — they watched quarterback Baker Mayfield leave the game with a left-shoulder sprain that now casts doubt over the entire stretch run. Mayfield aggravated the injury on a Hail Mary attempt just before halftime, ending his night and leaving the Bucs offense in the hands of Teddy Bridgewater. With an MRI coming and the team already sliding after a 5 and 1 start, uncertainty under center raises major questions about how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will navigate the weeks ahead.
