What to know

  • Baker Mayfield dislocated his throwing thumb late in a 23-16 loss to Minnesota, with no ligament or tendon damage found on MRI.
  • Coach Todd Bowles set a minimum three-week absence and is keeping Mayfield on the 53-man roster rather than injured reserve for now.
  • Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, who beat out veteran Jake Browning in the preseason, takes over as starter for the 0-3 Buccaneers.
  • The team is expected to add a veteran or practice-squad quarterback for depth behind Daniels.

“We'll keep him on (the active roster) right now but we're not sure. It could be, possibly, sooner. We'll know how it goes how it's gonna go.”

    Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels named starting quarterback

    Daniels, who beat out veteran Jake Browning for the No. 2 job in preseason, will start for the injured Mayfield; he went 0-for-3 with an interception in relief on Sunday. Bowles said the team will also look for a veteran or practice-squad quarterback for depth.

    “Either a veteran or a practice squad one in that span … we'll go with Jalon and we'll go play…”
