What happened: Tampa Bay listed Mayfield as a full participant Wednesday ahead of Sunday at Carolina. He practiced wearing a glove while testing his injured thumb.

By the numbers: In 2025 with Tampa Bay: 343-of-543 for 3,693 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games.

What to watch: Final game status arrives later in the week ahead of the Carolina trip.
