During a Sunday game against the Minnesota Vikings, Baker Mayfield injured his throwing thumb while attempting a fourth-down pass that was intercepted. After collapsing to the ground in pain, an MRI later revealed he had a dislocated thumb, with further tests needed to determine potential ligament damage and recovery time. The injury forced Mayfield out of the game; the Buccaneers then played the remainder with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels but ultimately lost 23-16, dropping their record to 0-3.

Story summary
On Sunday during a game against the Minnesota Vikings, Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand when he was intercepted by linebacker Blake Cashman. After the injury, Mayfield screamed in pain on the field at Raymond James Stadium. An X-ray and MRI revealed no fractures but did not rule out ligament damage; the severity will be clearer after further examination. Coach Todd Bowles stated that Mayfield is expected to miss a minimum of three weeks. The Buccaneers have struggled this season with an 0-3 record, having lost 10 of their last 12 games. They now face significant challenges as undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will likely start in the next game against the Green Bay Packers.
