Baker Mayfield dealing with sore ribs ahead of Week 18 matchup at Carolina

The outlook for Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback Baker Mayfield being good to go Sunday at Carolina (2-14) is looking like less of a sure thing. Mayfield is dealing with sore ribs after last week’s loss against the New Orleans Saints. “Pretty sore. But I’m good,” Mayfield said on Wednesday. “It’s just one of those things. It’s tender. I’ve dealt with rib injuries before. Rest, and just as the week goes on, it always helps.”
