The Green Bay Packers are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Buccaneers starting quarterback Baker Mayfield is out with a dislocated thumb and will miss at least three weeks. Undrafted rookie Jalen Daniels, who has not yet made a significant impact in his limited appearances, is expected to start. Daniels is known for his mobility and dual-threat capability, having previously played for the Kansas Jayhawks. As the Packers look to bounce back from a disappointing performance against the Atlanta Falcons, they hope to exploit the Buccaneers' offensive struggles, which include a high sack rate for their quarterbacks.
