Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray

Wednesday, November 26, 5:39 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday with a low-grade AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. Mayfield was seen wearing a sling on his left arm in the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he has a chance to play in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday if he can get back onto the practice field later this week. In the event that the 30-year-old veteran isn't ready to play, the Buccaneers are preparing veteran backup Teddy Bridgewater to start in practice this week. Mayfield's ability to play this weekend could be tied to pain management. He's one of the toughest QBs in the league, so if it comes down to that, he'll probably be out there, but he'd be more of a high-end QB2 for fantasy football at likely less than 100%.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "He's working hard to get healthy. That's what he's doing right now. He's in every meeting, and he's engaged. He's rehabbing a boatload of time in there," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday. Murray has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It was reported earlier this month that Murray will be the backup QB when he's ready to come off IR, as veteran Jacoby Brissett has given the Cardinals' passing offense a spark since Murray went down with an injury. Another disappointing and injury-plagued season for Murray has put his long-term future in doubt in Arizona.
