From the episode

Baker Mayfield is still in the very early side of that window to return from the thumb injury... it's closer to a long shot than it is a sure thing here... it was a three week minimum... for him to return this week just does not seem feasible.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Mayfield unlikely to return this week; thumb injury requires full grip strength.

Mayfield suffered a thumb injury in week three against Minnesota and remains in the early window for return. Despite his desire to play this week against Pittsburgh, he did not practice and a return is closer to a long shot than a sure thing. The source reported it was a three-week minimum injury, potentially longer, making this week's return unlikely.
