Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield sustained a contusion on his throwing hand and sat out of practice at training camp Friday in Tampa, Fla.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles told reporters that Mayfield's hand was sore for the last couple of days from an accumulation of factors. He is not concerned it's a long-term injury.
"He's got a sore hand," Bowles said. "We gave him the day off. He is day-to-day. Not worried about it."
Mayfield, 30, is coming off a career year in which he totaled personal bests in completion percentage (71.4%), passing yards (4,500) and touchdown tosses (41). He also led the league with 16 interceptions.
The Buccaneers, who signed Mayfield to a three-year, $100 million contract last off-season, restructured that pact this off-season to guarantee the veteran $30 million in 2026.
