"Optimism" Baker Mayfield Will Be Back For Week 7

There's "optimism" that Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) will be able to return for next weekend's game vs. the Panthers, The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reports. Mayfield was off to a rough start before dislocating his right thumb in Week 3, averaging just 6.4 yards per attempt with 2 TDs and 2 INTs. He won't be a QB1 consideration next week, but his return will undoubtedly be good news for WRs Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin.
