INJURIES

Emergency QB for Week 17 Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency third quarterback for the game, Scott Smith of the team's...
Impact Bazelak will continue in his typical role as the No. 3 quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater. The reserve QB will only be able to enter the game if both quarterbacks on the active roster must exit due to injury, illness, or ejection.

Once again serving as emergency QB Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 game against Carolina and will be Tampa Bay's emergency third quarterback, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site...
Impact This is a familiar role for Bazelak, who has been inactive as the Bucs' emergency quarterback each of the past four weeks. He's yet to make his NFL debut and can do so Sunday only if both Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tabbed as emergency QB Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive but will be available as Tampa Bay's emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Scott Smith of the team's official site...
Impact Bazelak is set to serve as the Buccaneers' third quarterback for the third straight week. He has yet to see any game action in his rookie season and that's unlikely to change in Week 15 against Atlanta.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Working as emergency QB again Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as Tampa Bay's emergency third QB against the Saints in Week 14, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Bazelak will be Tampa Bay's emergency third QB for the second straight week after signing to the active roster Nov. 29. Starting QB Baker Mayfield continues to manage a shoulder injury, so Bazelak provides the Bucs with some insurance in case both Mayfield and backup Teddy Bridgewater are forced to exit Sunday's clash due to injury, illness or ejection.
DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Emergency QB for Week 13 Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Impact The Bucs signed Bazelak from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to give the team depth at quarterback in case Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) was inactive for Week 13. Mayfield has been cleared to play Sunday, and with Teddy Bridgewater serving as the backup, Bazelak will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency QB3. That means Bazelak is prohibited from playing unless both Mayfield and Bridgewater were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Signed to active roster The Buccaneers signed Bazelak to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Bazelak will provide extra depth at quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, as Baker Mayfield is dealing with a shoulder injury. Bazelak was elevated just once this season for the Week 8 win over the Saints but didn't see any playing time.

Bucs Elevate Marcus Banks, Promote Connor Bazelak from Practice Squad First-year S Marks Banks and rookie QB Connor Bazelak will both be eligible to play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after the former...

Goes back to practice squad Bazelak reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Bazelak was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over New Orleans but didn't see any action. His elevation appeared to be insurance since both Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater managed injuries during the week. Bazelak is unlikely to be elevated again following Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye unless at least one QB ahead of him on the depth chart is at risk of not being able to suit up.
OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Gets elevated for Week 8 The Buccaneers elevated Bazelak from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus New Orleans, Scott Smith of Tampa Bay's official site reports.
Impact Bazelak signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent in May and ended up on the team's practice squad after being waived in late August. While neither of the team's top two quarterbacks -- Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater -- have an injury designation heading into Sunday, Mayfield dealt with a knee issue during the week and Bridgewater missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an issue with his teeth before participating in full Friday. Bazelak could end up being inactive as the emergency third QB for Sunday's clash against the Saints.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Signs onto Bucs' practice squad Tampa Bay signed Bazelak to its practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The undrafted rookie couldn't beat out Teddy Bridgewater for a spot on the Buccaneers' final 53-man roster for 2025, but he'll be throwing passes for the team on the practice squad. An injury to Bridgewater or starter Baker Mayfield is probably Bazelak's shortest path to an elevation this season.
AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Waived by Tampa Bay The Bucs waived Bazelak on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Bazelak played well during the preseason, completing 32 of 46 pass attempts for 261 yards (5.7 yards per attempt) and one touchdown. However, the undrafted rookie out of Bowling Green was always a long shot to make the 53-man roster behind Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask and newcomer Teddy Bridgewater. Bazelak will be a candidate to land on Tampa Bay's practice squad if he clears waivers.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • BUCCANEERS.COM
Sharp in limited playing time Bazelak completed six of nine passes for 48 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
Impact The undrafted rookie came into the contest with 9:16 remaining in the third quarter to handle the Buccaneers' first possession of the third quarter, and he played the entirety of the second half. Bazelak's first three drives culminated in a punt, a fumble and a punt, but he was able to lead short marches that netted a field goal and a touchdown to close out the game. Bazelak is firmly behind Kyle Trask and Teddy Bridgewater on the depth chart, but a strong body of work this summer could lead to a practice-squad spot.

Makes deal with Bucs Tampa Bay signed Bazelak as an undrafted free agent Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Bazelak spent time at Missouri and Indiana before finding his ideal fit in Bowling Green during his last two years in college. His 2024 season was particularly fruitful, as he was able to demonstrate both standout overall production (3,044 passing yards) and efficiency (66.9-percent completion rate). He'll turn 25 in September though, so it's unlikely there's very much room left for him to grow.
