TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS QUOTE SHEET 11-28-25

HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES

(On if he has made a decision as to whether QB Baker Mayfield will start against the Arizona Cardinals)

"We have. He looked good today, so he's trending to play."

(On if he can rule any players out for the Cardinals game)

"[Benjamin] Morrison and [Rashad] Wisdom right now."

(On what he needed to see in practice from QB Baker Mayfield in order to make a decision for Sunday's game)

"He had to get well. He was very limited on Wednesday, he did a little more yesterday [and] he moved around perfectly today. He moved around, so he was fine."

(On if it feels like a 'reset' to have key players like RB Bucky Irving and OLB Haason Reddick come back from injury)

"I think it's a reset for them to come back. Everybody else has kind of been playing the whole time. To get them acclimated and still do what we need to get done is going to be important for us."

(On how he plans to use RB Bucky Irving in the running back rotation on Sunday)

"We'll put him in. Once he gets in, we'll see how he is rolling, and then between him, Rachaad [White] and Sean [Tucker], we'll kind of go with the hot hand."

(On the confidence level of the team after losing three games in a row)

"We [have] plenty of confidence – we never lost that. It's just picking up on the little things from an execution standpoint. We all know we have to do our job better and that's coaches and players, but that has nothing to do with confidence, just execution."

(On if the team could elevate QB Connor Bazelak from the practice squad for Sunday's game with QB Baker Mayfield's shoulder injury lingering)

"It's been talked about, depending on what the other positions need and who's coming back from where. We're still talking about it – [we] haven't made that decision yet."

(On if CB J.T. Gray could be elevated for special teams help or if he still needs more time to get acclimated)

"He's probably still a work in progress."
