New Injury Concern For Baker Mayfield
November 9th, 2026
So the NBC broadcast began last night with announcers declaring that Baker Mayfield is playing through thumb pain and lingering swelling in the digit that was dislocated during the Bucs’ Week 3 loss to the Minnesota.
Ok. No surprise. Mayfield was on the injury report all last week with the thumb on his throwing hand. It’s not 100 percent.
But another injury issue arose for Mayfield. About halfway through last night’s game, Mayfield was tackled somewhat awkwardly in a deep-squat position. Mayfield seemed to limp the entire game after that.
Is it a knee, an ankle? Whatever it is, it’s another thing for Mayfield to try and fix in the upcoming bye week.
It’s also more evidence Mayfield has become injury-prone. He’s been more banged up than healthy through the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Dudes tough as nails, I love Baker. Under Liam we were one of the best Offenses In the league. He’s capable
We need an offensive coordinator

At some point, our love for baker and desire to play our high price qb is going to have to be met with reason. If we can’t figure out the offense the season is lost. Playing a qb based on money will only compound the issue. Being a Buc fan can be truly frustrating.

well first off, I m proud of the defense overall .. as far as Mayfield, just stop it.. he’s LOCKED IN.. just support him . did we not dealt with J Winston’s interceptions and J Freeman days as franchise qbs?? Mad shutouts to tru , long time fans, like LUVEMYBUCS, NCBUCSFAN, DRENEAST, etc stay positive!

One of the many reasons I didn’t want to resign him. Sure he didn’t miss games up until this year but he’s always getting hurt. It will only get worse as he gets older. Baker is not a QB that will age well

Baker is the league MVP… if he’s healthy.
We just have to be patient.

Injury prone. Or hammered from a trash oline

Baker is washed. He had a good year with cohen and cashed in on it. He’s been ass ever since.

He’s injury prone because he sits in the pocket and pumps and pumps and never throws the ball. Then he runs around in a circle dodging defenders after his o-line gives him over 3 seconds in the pocket (6th longest time to throw in the nfl !!!), because he isn’t seeing the field properly and misses reads….
Also his accuracy with Otton is atrocious!!!! Otton beat his man TWICE tonite for TD’s in the endzone and Baker sailed the ball over his head both times….
Mayfield is a giant crapshow now!!!
What the hell are we doing here???

This team can beat most NFL teams through our Defense, Backs, and key passes (like 3rd and 21) that Daniels showed against Dallas. Baker is a liability on the field. Seems his enduring qualities are his leadership, which he can now exercise from the sidelines thank you very much.

Shelve him for the season. Or for his career.
