Mayfield after Texans spat: Bucs won't tolerate it

TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was asked Wednesday to recount his third-and-10 scramble against the Houston Texans in which he got caught by defensive end Will Anderson Jr., immediately clutched his left leg, then sprang up and started jawing with safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

"We don't take any s---. That's about it," Mayfield said.

The play happened Monday night with the Bucs up 14-10. For a moment, it looked like Mayfield could have been seriously hurt. But he continued playing and led the team to a 20-19 victory.

Mayfield posted a picture of the play on his Instagram feed, drawing a response from Gardner-Johnson, who is coming off a Super Bowl-winning season with the Eagles.

"Boy this cute but still ringless," Gardner-Johnson wrote.

Despite taking several hard hits during the game, Mayfield on Wednesday said he's fine.

"[I feel] great," he said. "It's Week 3 in the NFL. I feel great."

He said the same about his left leg, which had a compression sleeve on it while he was speaking to the media.

"Good. Great," he said of the leg.

Mayfield was a full participant in the team's walk-through, although he is listed with a foot/toe injury.

His bodywork coach, Dave Matthews, who flies in from Arizona and has worked with the quarterback since his time with the Cleveland Browns, is not coming in for extra sessions this week.

"Normal schedule," Mayfield said.

The Bucs as a whole have a different schedule this week with the walk-through to account for one less recovery day ahead of Sunday's home opener against the New York Jets.

Also in Monday's game, Tampa Bay running back Rachaad White took an exceptionally hard hit recovering a Mayfield fumble. White came back in for the next series and then, on the final possession, ran in a 2-yard touchdown with 9 seconds left to win the game.

"You look at that play, he took a nasty shot trying to dive on the ball," Mayfield said. "Obviously a huge, huge play for us being able to punt it. But yeah, it's guys laying their body on the line -- that stuff screams off the tape. Guys notice that. You might not say anything, but you nod your head like, 'Yeah, that's the type of group we have. We're going to fight for each other and try to pick up each other when we're down."

White was not listed on the team's injury report Wednesday.

Starting right tackle Luke Goedeke did not participate in the walk-through after aggravating a foot injury against the Texans that he initially suffered in Week 1. Sources previously told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Goedeke could miss multiple weeks.

Rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who has a league-leading three touchdown catches, missed the walk-through with a hip/groin injury.
