Jess Root, Cardinals WireTue, November 25, 2025 at 6:03 AM UTC·1 min readThe Arizona Cardinals, fresh off a loss on Sunday to the Jacksonville Jaguars, now turn their attention to their game in Week 13. They will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road on Sunday. One major question for the game will be whether or not Bucs starting quarterback Baker Mayfield will play.
Mayfield suffered an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder Sunday night in the Bucs' 34-7 loss to the LA Rams.

The Bucs got pretty good news on Monday, though. According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, upon an MRI, he has a low-grade sprain and there is optimism that he could play against the Cardinals.
The Bucs are 6-5 with a half-game lead over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. They need wins. The Cardinals are 3-8 and have lost eight of their last nine games.
If Mayfield is unable to go, Teddy Bridgewater would start in his place.
The Cardinals and Bucs kick off Sunday from Raymond James Stadium at 1 p.m. ET (11 a.m. Arizona time).
