TAMPA, Fla. -- The Buccaneers' training staff found no issues with quarterback Baker Mayfield's right thumb, and he will be ready for Sunday's game against the 49ers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Mayfield hit his thumb on a helmet in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday, which snapped a four-game losing streak.
"Yeah, Baker's good," coach Todd Bowles said Monday, reiterating what Mayfield said after Sunday's game.
"It feels good," said Mayfield, who threw two touchdowns in Sunday's game on the heels of a 37-point performance in a loss against the Texans last week.
At 4-5, the Bucs are still in the thick of what's considered a wide-open NFC South. However, they will face one of their toughest tests of the season this week at the 49ers, a team that beat them 35-7 last year.
Bowles has been very pleased with the job Mayfield has done from both a performance and leadership standpoint, helping usher in an era post-Tom Brady with a new offense. He's thrown 14 touchdowns with just five interceptions.
"It was a great fit for us," Bowles said of Mayfield. "Him coming here, understanding the offense and doing what he's doing right now, we never imagined -- we thought about it, we thought we could see it -- but it's coming true, and it's coming to fruition. I'm glad he's happy here because we're happy with him, and I think it's a great marriage."
