Mayfield may return for Buccaneers in Week 7

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield will miss a third straight game against the Steelers as he recovers from a dislocated thumb, with rookie Jalon Daniels set to start again. Mayfield attempted to throw in practice but could not grip the ball well enough to use his normal throwing motion. Tampa Bay is optimistic he could return in Week 7 against Carolina, its first NFC South matchup, though he may not be fully recovered. Daniels has gone 1-1 as the starter, but the Buccaneers expect Mayfield to reclaim the job when he is healthy.
