Baker Mayfield set to get MRI on return to Tampa
Baker Mayfield was limping heavily in the locker room and spent a significant portion of postgame getting treatment on it. He expects to be getting an MRI when he gets back to Tampa. “Adrenaline…is a hell of a drug,” he said, adding that he can feel it more now.

Baker Mayfield is set to be examined for an ankle injury that occurred toward the end of Tampa Bay’s first drive against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Mayfield attempted a quarterback sneak against the Colts within striking distance of the goal line. The play went for no gain, but Mayfield went down on the play and held his ankle as trainers attended to him. He limped off the field and was examined in the medical tent, but he returned to the game on the next drive and finished it out. After the game, Mayfield told reporters that the injury was hurting more after the adrenaline wore off and that he was set to get an MRI upon flying back to Tampa Bay according to ESPN reporter Jenna Laine.
If Mayfield is unable to play, the honor would go to Kyle Trask, who subbed in for him on the drive he was injured.
