Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is scheduled for an MRI after dislocating his right thumb during Tampa Bay's 23-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Head coach Todd Bowles provided the injury update after the game, according to cbssports.com.

Mayfield sustained the injury to his throwing hand late in the fourth quarter and did not finish the game. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels took over for Tampa Bay's final possession.

Daniels did not complete a pass and threw an interception on the game's final play. The MRI results are expected to help determine Mayfield's recovery timeline.

The 0-3 Buccaneers are scheduled to host the 1-2 Packers in Week 4. Daniels could have an opportunity to make his first NFL start, although the source does not provide a confirmed decision on Tampa Bay's starting quarterback.
