Bucs Add QB Depth Amidst Mayfield Injury Concerns
30 Nov
Summary
- Buccaneers promoted QB Connor Bazelak from practice squad.
- Safety Marcus Banks elevated to strengthen special teams.
- Moves aim to bolster depth due to Baker Mayfield's shoulder injury.
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare for their Sunday game against the Arizona Cardinals, they've made key roster adjustments. Quarterback Connor Bazelak has been promoted from the practice squad to provide additional depth behind an injured Baker Mayfield, whose shoulder issue from last week's game is being closely monitored. This move prioritizes having a capable emergency option.
Alongside Bazelak, safety Marcus Banks has also been elevated from the practice squad. Banks is expected to contribute primarily to the Buccaneers' special teams units, an area that has seen consistent adjustments throughout the season. His addition aims to strengthen kickoff and punt coverage as the team emphasizes field position.
These roster moves underscore the Buccaneers' cautious approach to injuries and their commitment to maintaining depth across the team. With every game crucial for playoff positioning, ensuring security at quarterback and on special teams is a strategic priority for Tampa Bay as they face the Cardinals.
