Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield dislocated his throwing thumb in the Buccaneers’ 23-16 loss to Minnesota. X-rays showed no break, but Mayfield is due for an MRI the next day to assess the injury after leaving in the fourth quarter.
Mayfield was hurt during a fourth-down attempt that ended in an interception. Video appeared to show his thumb make awkward contact with Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman. Jalon Daniels replaced him and completed none of his three passes; Tampa Bay is due to play Green Bay next week.
