INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) --- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield did
not start the second half after sustaining a left shoulder injury against the
Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
Mayfield went into the medical tent after throwing a 14-yard touchdown pass to
wide receiver Tez Johnson in the second quarter, holding his non-throwing
shoulder. Mayfield returned but appeared to aggravate the injury on a Hail Mary
attempt that was intercepted by Emmanuel Forbes Jr. to end the half, clutching
his shoulder in obvious discomfort.
Backup Teddy Bridgewater came into the game on the first possession of the
second half for the Buccaneers.
The team said Mayfield was doubtful to return. He completed 9 of 19 passes for
41 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, was sacked twice, and ran four
times for 19 yards in the first half.
The Rams led 31-7 at halftime.
