Bucs’ Baker Mayfield practices; Mike Evans does not

Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was a full participant after getting spiked in the leg in last week’s game, but star wide receiver Mike Evans and rookie running back Bucky Irving did not participate Wednesday.

Evans is dealing with hamstring and calf issues while Irving was sidelined for the walkthrough with hip/back ailments.

Mayfield was a full participant on the estimated injury report after his lower leg got stepped on in last week’s overtime win over the Carolina Panthers. He vowed to be ready to play this week against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders (2-10).

“Yeah, it’s a part of my job just to get ready to physically play,” Mayfield told reporters Wednesday. “[I’m] doing my recovery stuff, everything I need to do to be able to be ready to play and yeah, feel decent. [I’m] still a little sore but it’s Week 13 or 14 in the NFL so got to go.”

Mayfield was stepped on by Panthers defensive end Jadeveon Clowney after a sack. He was replaced briefly by Kyle Trask before returning. He threw for 235 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

The 6-6 Bucs are currently on the outside looking in for the postseason, having lost twice to the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons.

Evans has 39 catches for 521 yards and seven TDs on the season after topping 1,000 yards in each of his first 10 NFL seasons. Irving has rushed for 732 yards and six TDs in 12 games (one start).
