Easton Stick

QB

Stick signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in early September to serve as organizational QB depth. He'll now get a chance to be active on game day due to starter Baker Mayfield being set to miss multiple weeks with a thumb injury. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is slated to start behind center during Mayfield's absence, and Stick will provide a veteran option -- albeit one with only six career games of regular-season action -- should Daniels need to exit or struggle significantly.

SirVocea Dennis

LB

Dennis was limited in Wednesday's practice with a calf injury before downgrading to a DNP in Thursday's session. The linebacker was able to return to practice Friday but is also dealing with a personal issue. With Josiah Trotter back as the starting inside linebacker next to Alex Anzalone this weekend, Dennis will be in a reserve role if he can suit up.

Baker Mayfield

QB

Head coach Todd Bowles previously acknowledged that Mayfield would miss at least three weeks due to the injury, which he sustained in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Though Mayfield was cleared of any tendon or ligament damage and won't need surgery on the thumb on his throwing hand, the two-time Pro Bowler required stitches to close a wound caused by the dislocation. Despite facing a loose recovery timeline that could keep him out for more than four games, Mayfield avoided placement on injured reserve Saturday, which signals that the Buccaneers are still holding out hope that he might be ready to go after a three-week absence. For however long Mayfield ends up being sidelined, the Buccaeneers will turn to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels to direct the offense, beginning with Sunday's game versus Green Bay.
