Mayfield's thumb injury sidelines him; Daniels starts.

Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb in Week 3 and is expected to be sidelined for three-to-six weeks; as of Week 6, he has not resumed throwing. Recent reports indicate he is expected to resume practicing Wednesday of Week 7, but Jalon Daniels is expected to start. This represents a significant downgrade for Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, and Cade Otton.
