As Bucs fans watching on TV saw, Baker Mayfield scrambled and scrambled and scrambled late on a fourth-quarter fourth down play and it ended with Mayfield getting hit and dislocating his thumb.
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles confirmed the injury in his postgame news conference.
Bowles said it’s impossible to know what Mayfield’s return timetable might be until he has an MRI on the thumb, likely tomorrow.
Bowles acknowledged that it’s likely undrafted rookie backup Jalen Daniels will start next Sunday against the Packers.
Joe’s not going to blame Mayfield for getting hurt, like Joe sees some fans doing on social media.
Might Mayfield have been better of giving up on the play sooner or trying to run for postive yardage sooner? Joe will say Mayfield’s decision-making was not on point for most of the game.
