Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Todd Bowles said QB Teddy Bridgewater will take most of the reps this week and that they'll see how Mayfield is feeling when they get closer to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He shouldn't be in your fantasy plans, but Mayfield's absence would be bad news for all of Tampa Bay's skill-position players.

The Buccaneers are not ruling QB Baker Mayfield out for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team believes Mayfield sprained the AC joint in his left shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Rams -- but suffered no fracture or structural damage. Mayfield is still scheduled for a Monday MRI to get a better look at the injury. We'll keep you updated on his status and track his practice participation this week. QB Teddy Bridgewater will get the start if Mayfield is out. Bridgewater didn't inspire any confidence in relief of Mayfield vs. the Rams, completing 8 of 15 passes for 62 scoreless yards in one half of action.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is doubtful to return to Sunday night's game vs. the Rams with a left shoulder injury. He went into the medical tent in obvious discomfort early in the second quarter but returned to the game. Mayfield then appeared to aggravate the issue on the final play of the first half and is now likely done for the night. He'll be replaced by QB Teddy Bridgewater. Stay tuned for updates on Mayfield's injury.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater (knee, right finger) logged limited participation at Wednesday's practice. We shared earlier that starting QB Tua Tagovailoa has already been ruled out for Sunday's Wild Card contest vs. the Bills. It'll come down to rookie QB Skylar Thompson or Bridgewater under center this weekend. We'll continue to track this as the week unfolds. It's also worth noting Thompson (ankle) appears on the injury report with full practice participation.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Wednesday that QB Tua Tagovailoa is out for Sunday's playoff opener against the Bills. Doctors have yet to clear the QB for football activity coming off his latest concussion. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Miami is preparing as though Skylar Thompson will start. That doesn't rule out the possibility of Teddy Bridgewater returning from the finger injury on his throwing hand, but you should prepare as though the rookie will line up behind center. This obviously downgrades Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle for all fantasy football formats.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday’s game at New England. After throwing an INT, Bridgewater hurt a finger while trying to make a tackle. We'll see if he’s able to return in the 4th quarter.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater headed back to the locker room in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with an undisclosed injury. That leaves Miami with 7th-round rookie QB Skylar Thompson. We'll update Bridgewater's status when we know more.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel confirmed after Thursday night's loss to the Bengals that QB Tua Tagovailoa is in the concussion protocol. We'll see if he has any other injuries beyond that. Miami's next game is in 10 days vs. the Jets. QB Teddy Bridgewater played well in relief of Tagovailoa in Cincinnati, completing 14 of 23 passes for 193 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in a little over 1 half of action.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa exited in the 2nd quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals after being slammed to the turf by Bengals DL Josh Tupou. He was taken off the field by a stretcher. We'll update Tua's status when we know more. QB Teddy Bridgewater will take over for Miami.

Update: Tagovailoa has been ruled out with head and neck injuries and is being transported to a hospital.

Update: According to the Amazon Prime broadcast crew, Tagovailoa is expected to be discharged from the hospital tonight and travel back to Miami with the team.

The Dolphins estimated their 1st practice report of the week Monday, ahead of Thursday night's visit to Cincinnati. That included listing QB Tua Tagovailoa as a non-participant. HC Mike McDaniel says the QB is dealing with soreness in his back and ankle and that they were awaiting further test results Monday. Tagovailoa did return to Sunday's game after leaving for a concussion check -- what NFL Network's Ian Rapoport later reported as more of a neck/back injury -- but we'll see about his availability for Thursday.
