#Bucs Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was banged up a bit when his ankle jammed but didn’t miss a play last night, is “good,” a source said. No real problems.

Mayfield didn’t miss a play in the 36-30 overtime loss and finished 19 of 24 for 180 yards and three touchdowns.

Mayfield got twisted got up during a sack during the game and limped to the sideline. Although he returned, it was not immediately clear whether he was likely to miss time beyond Week 5.

Losing the 29-year-old would be devastating to the Buccaneers’ chances in a competitive NFC South. He threw for 1,164 yards with 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions while leading the Buccaneers to a 3-2 start to the season.

Tampa Bay and Atlanta are both 3-2 while the New Orleans Saints could get there with a win in Week 5.

Mayfield and the Buccaneers have nine days until they face the Saints in Week 6 and hope he is fully healthy.
