Baker Mayfield injures thumb, may miss Packers matchup in Week 4
Summary

Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand during the fourth quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the Minnesota Vikings. An MRI is scheduled for Mayfield, who is likely to miss time, leaving rookie Jalon Daniels, who has minimal experience, to potentially start against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are looking for a much-needed win following their recent 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. This injury comes as the Buccaneers, currently 0-3, are struggling to find their footing early in the season.
