Mayfield thumb dislocation awaits MRI after Buccaneers loss
Coach Todd Bowles said X-rays showed no fracture after Tampa Bay’s quarterback injured his right thumb against Minnesota.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb during the team’s 23–16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, coach Todd Bowles said.
The injury came with 1:54 remaining in the fourth quarter, when Mayfield’s pass was intercepted by Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel.
Bowles said X-rays showed no fracture. Mayfield was due to undergo an MRI on Monday; no findings were available in the source report.
Rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels replaced Mayfield for Tampa Bay’s final drive and threw an interception on a last-gasp pass.
The available information does not establish the injury’s severity, treatment or recovery timeline.
