  "account": "Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, leaving the team winless after three games. Mayfield attempted to throw but had his hand briefly collide with Tampa Bay linebacker Blake Cashman. The severity of the injury will not be determined until after an MRI on Monday. Tampa Bay has lost 10 of their last 12 games and have not won any since last season. Quarterback Mayfield has not performed well since joining the team in 2023 following a $165 million contract extension. Coach Todd Bowles discussed the decision to go for it on fourth down when trailing late in the game, stating that they needed a play to get the ball back. If Baker Mayfield is unable to play in the next game, rookie Jalon Daniels is expected to start against the Packers.",
