Overview

  • Mayfield suffered a throwing-hand contusion during Thursday’s training camp practice and did not participate in Friday’s session.

  • Backup quarterbacks Kyle Trask and Connor Bazelak are receiving increased practice reps in his absence.
  • Mayfield entered the season on the strength of a three-year, $100 million extension after leading Tampa Bay to consecutive NFC South titles with over 4,000 passing yards each year.
  • The Buccaneers are preparing to rebound from last season’s playoff exit while integrating new talent into their offense.
