TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is expected to miss at least three weeks after dislocating his right thumb, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Daniels, an undrafted free agent, is expected to make his first NFL start Sunday when the Buccaneers (0-3) face the Green Bay Packers.
