Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated right thumb during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Todd Bowles, who said Mayfield would undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
The result of the imaging is expected to shape decisions about Mayfield's availability for Tampa Bay's upcoming games, since a thumb injury to a quarterback's throwing or grip hand can significantly affect his ability to play.
Bowles did not immediately provide a timeline for when the team would know more about Mayfield's status. The Buccaneers will need to monitor his recovery closely as they prepare for their next matchup following Sunday's loss.
Further updates on the severity of the injury and any changes to Tampa Bay's quarterback plans are expected once test results are reviewed.
