Bucs OC Zac Robinson: Baker Mayfield "just not quite ready" to return this week

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield’s absence from practice on Wednesday and Thursday were a sign that he won’t be playing against the Steelers in Week 6 and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson confirmed it at his press conference on Thursday.

Mayfield was scheduled to try to throw the ball on Wednesday as a test to see if his dislocated right thumb has healed enough for him to grip a football and run the offense, but Robinson said that things have not progressed to that point yet.
