Baker Mayfield to Miss at Least Three Weeks After Dislocating Right Thumb
Baker Mayfield, quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dislocated his right thumb during a late fourth-quarter play in a 23-16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Coach Todd Bowles indicated Mayfield is expected to miss at least three weeks but avoided surgery and ligament damage. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will start in his place. Mayfield has struggled this season behind a weak offensive line, and the Buccaneers have started 0-3, their worst since 2014.
