Baker Mayfield Sidelined Three Weeks With Dislocated Thumb

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated right thumb in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to miss approximately three weeks. An MRI confirmed no fracture or ligament damage, raising optimism for a potential Week 10 return. Mayfield will miss upcoming matchups against the Packers, Cowboys, and Steelers, leaving rookie Jalon Daniels and backup options to lead the offense while he recovers on the sideline.
