Mayfield briefly left the game after having his right leg stepped on.
Just over halfway through the third quarter in a massive game for the Buccaneers in Carolina, quarterback Baker Mayfield spent several minutes down on the turf at Bank of America Stadium.
The injury happened on a play where Mayfield was sacked and aggressively thrown to the ground by Panthers' linebacker, Josey Jewell.Although it appeared as though the tackle by Jewell may have caused the injury, it was actually Jadeveon Clowney who inadvertantly stepped on Mayfield's right foot after the play that left the Bucs' quarterback in obvious pain.
After being helped off the field, Mayfield was immediately escorted to the medical tent on the Buccaneers' sideline to get treatement for what we can only assume is a right ankle injury. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Kyle Trask was sent in to the game. But this is Baker Mayfield we're talking about. And after just a couple downs, Mayfield re-entered the game.
Unfortunately, Mayfield threw a brutal interception on his first snap after returning to the game. Whether or not his injury had something to do with the decision, we'll never know. But Mayfield is going to need to get his act together quickly in order to deliver the Bucs a much-needed victory in Carolina. He did help guide the offense on a touchdown drive on his next possession.
