| News for Mayfield, Baker |

Baker Mayfield was seen without his protective glove during Friday’s practice. 2026-10-30 12:00:02 Mayfield wore the protective glove during last week’s game to avoid further damage to the thumb he injured in Week 3. Mayfield attempted only 11 passes in his return against the Panthers last week, but that was all he needed in a game where the Buccaneers totaled over 250 yards on the ground. Hopefully the shedding of his protective glove is a sign that he’s no longer at risk of re-injury heading into Week 8’s game against the Falcons. |

Baker Mayfield (thumb) is active for Week 7 against the Panthers. 2026-10-25 12:00:03 When last we left Mayfield, he was struggling mightily in Weeks 1-3. Predictably, UDFA Jalon Daniels was not any better in his stead. Mayfield returns to an undermanned skill corps, as Emeka Egbuka (foot, concussion) is out for Week 7. Mayfield is a shaky option in the QB16-18 range. Joining Egbuka on the shelf are OT Luke Goedeke, S Antoine Winfield, OG Billy Schrauth, DL DeMonte Capehart and CB Ayden Garnes. |

Baker Mayfield (thumb) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the Panthers. 2026-10-23 16:00:03 Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles told reporters earlier today that Mayfield “looks like he’s ready to go” for this week’s game. Mayfield seemingly has solid odds of suiting up this week, but we must wait for an official ruling. Hopefully, that arrives tomorrow. If active, Mayfield will play with a protective plate on the back of his glove to help keep his recently dislocated thumb in place. He is a QB2 for the occasion, if active. |

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield (thumb) “looks like he’s ready to go” for Week 7 against the Panthers. 2026-10-23 13:00:02 Mayfield was a full participant in practice all week and should be removed from the team’s final injury report when it’s released later in the day. Mayfield is expected to wear a protective glove on his throwing hand, which should prevent injury to the thumb he dislocated in Week 3, and will be on the QB2 radar in what is a must-win game for the 1-5 Buccaneers. Hopefully he can improve on a rough start to the season in which he threw for 615-2-2 in his first three games while completing 63.5 percent of his passes. |

Baker Mayfield said his injured thumb has “gotten to a place where it’s strong enough to play” in Week 7 against the Panthers. 2026-10-22 14:00:02 Mayfield has played through injuries regularly over the years. We expect him to be out there for the Buccaneers’ Week 7 game against the division rival Panthers. He is a QB2 for his first game back. A run-heavy game plan could be in the works as they ease him in. If his thumb really is good to go, though, this game could turn into a shootout. |
