Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield injured on sneak vs. Colts, Kyle Trask replaces him

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered an apparent ankle injury during the first quarter of the Week 12 road tilt against the Indianapolis Colts (5-5) Sunday.

Mayfield was replaced under center by third-year signal-caller Kyle Trask to finish out Tampa Bay’s opening drive, which ended in a field goal. Mayfield sustained the injury after getting his ankle landed on by a Colts defender on a quarterback sneak at the 1-yard line.

After being checked out in the blue medical tent, Mayfield returned to the game for Tampa Bay’s next series.
