  "account": "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing an uncertain future as Baker Mayfield's status for this week's Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers remains unclear. The team, currently sitting at 1-5, recently lost a home game to the Pittsburgh Steelers, following a big win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. As the Buccaneers prepare for their next game, Greg Auman of FOX Sports revealed that head coach Todd Bowles has shared their QB plan for practice, indicating Mayfield might not play. Bowles confirmed that the team will treat Jalon Daniels as the starter during practice, suggesting Daniels could start again. Mayfield, who has a thumb injury preventing him from fully gripping the ball, remains in the running to play, but his chances look slim at this point. Daniels has started three games so far, going 1-2 with 501 passing yards, three touchdowns, five interceptions, and 126 rushing yards without a touchdown.",
