Baker Mayfield could miss three to six weeks with thumb injury

Baker Mayfield is expected to be sidelined for three to six weeks due to a dislocated thumb sustained in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury forced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to turn to rookie Jalon Daniels as their starting quarterback. Daniels will lead the team in a crucial matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Head coach Todd Bowles had previously stated that Mayfield would miss at least three weeks, but the recovery timeline may extend beyond that if grip strength does not return quickly. This injury comes as the Buccaneers seek their first win of the season, currently sitting at 0-3.
