From the article

Mayfield is expected to miss somewhere between three and six weeks with the dislocated right thumb he suffered against the Minnesota Vikings, with his return ultimately hinging on when he can comfortably grip a football again. The good news for Mayfield and the Buccaneers is that an MRI revealed no fracture and no damage to the ligaments or tendons in his throwing hand.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Mayfield out 3–6 weeks with dislocated thumb; no structural damage but grip strength will dictate return.

Mayfield suffered a dislocated right thumb against Minnesota and is expected to miss 3–6 weeks; MRI revealed no fracture or ligament/tendon damage, but return timeline depends on grip strength recovery. Tampa Bay has not placed him on injured reserve, leaving the door open for a return toward the shorter end of the timetable. Head coach Todd Bowles originally said Mayfield would miss a minimum of three weeks, keeping him sidelined against Green Bay, Dallas, and Pittsburgh before potentially returning against Carolina in Week 7.
