Baker Mayfield was also a full participant.

Bucs have an illness ripping through the locker room. RB Bucky Irving, CB Zyon McCollum did not practice. P Riley Dixon (illness) was a full participant.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield was “effective” and it was “encouraging” how he practiced today. He played with a glove on his right hand and felt comfortable.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles on the QB plans for their game at Carolina Sunday. Baker Mayfield will practice Wed.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles on P Riley Dixon, who is 31st of 33 in punting average and 33rd of 33 in net punting. “We got to get more hang time,” Bowles said. “We got to get more distance. Obviously, I didn't think yesterday was a performance indicative of what he can do. When he gets good punts, they probably get about an eight or 10 yard return. When he doesn't get good punts, that's not good for us. So we definitely got to be better there.”

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield is supposed to practice Wed but they will initially game plan as if Jalon Daniels is starting. “I mean, he's supposed practice Wednesday,” Bowles said of Mayfield. “We'll take a good look at him there, and we'll kind of evaluate him during the week and see how he does.”

You can’t install a new offense in Week 7. Anyone taking over has the same menu.
