Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield leaves game vs. Colts after QB sneak injury
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are taking on the Indianapolis Colts in what should be a fun game. However, quarterback Baker Mayfield was forced to leave early after sustaining an injury early in the first quarter.
Mayfield attempted a quarterback sneak and somehow injured his right knee, per independent sports writer, Jeff Mueller. It was a jumbled mess and it's hard to tell exactly how the injury happened.
“Right knee. Hard to tell what happened but Baker is limping up and down the sideline. Looks to be in a good amount of pain so probably doesn’t return today.”

As a result, Kyle Trask has replaced Baker Mayfield at quarterback for the Buccaneers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's not clear if Mayfield will return to action at this moment.
“Buccaneers' QB Kyle Trask has replaced the injured Baker Mayfield.”
