Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield took a small but important step Thursday, moving from a did-not-participate tag to limited in practice as he works back from a left shoulder sprain. Fox Sports reporter Greg Auman posted the updated report and called it “good progress” for Tampa Bay ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals .

Mayfield injured the AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder during last week’s 34-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, exiting at halftime after gutting through several hits and a late Hail Mary attempt. He finished with just 41 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions before veteran Teddy Bridgewater took over.

The MRI brought relatively good news . Tests showed a low-grade sprain, and Mayfield said the shoulder feels stable.
