Baker Mayfield (ribs) back at Buccaneers practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) was a limited practice participant on Thursday for Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers.

What It Means:

Mayfield logged a limited session after he was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate. He took all of the third-down reps on Thursday and looked “functional” throwing the ball, according to Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales. It would be a big surprise if Mayfield doesn't suit up on Sunday, but the ribs injury could potentially impact his effectiveness.

numberFire's models project Mayfield for 14.9 FanDuel points in Carolina and he's the QB16 in our Week 18 rankings. The Panthers have allowed the fewest FanDuel points to quarterbacks this season because they tend to get beat on the ground. Their run defense is No. 29 in our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, while their pass defense is No. 23.
