The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an injury concern with quarterback Baker Mayfield in the second half of the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Mayfield suffered his injury in the second quarter of the game after a touchdown pass to Tez Johnson. He briefly exited the game before returning but appeared to re-aggravate the injury right before halftime.

Follow our tracker below for all of the latest updates on Mayfield's status for the rest of the game against the Rams.

Baker Mayfield injury update

UPDATE: Mayfield has officially been ruled out for the rest of the game.

UPDATE: The Bucs have announced that Mayfield is doubtful to return due to his shoulder injury, which means he's highly unlikely to return. Teddy Bridgewater is going to take the reins of the offense.

UPDATE: Mayfield went down to one knee and was in clear pain after launching a Hail Mary pass at the end of the half. It is not looking good for his chances of sticking it out for the remainder of the game.

And, with the Bucs getting blown out, they would be wise to sit him for the rest of the game to avoid further injury.

We'll be on the lookout for an update on Mayfield at halftime, but we should know more as soon as the third quarter begins.

END OF UPDATE

UPDATE: Mayfield has returned to the game.

UPDATE: The Bucs announced that Mayfield is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

Mayfield is getting checked out in the blue medical tent with what appears to be a left shoulder issue, although the team hasn't confirmed his injury yet.

We'll update this page once more information becomes available.
