Mayfield is considered day-to-day by the team.
Per the Tampa Bay Times, Mayfield hit his banged-up right hand on a shoulder pad during his follow through at practice on Thursday. Head coach Todd Bowles said it "had been sore over the past few days, an accumulation of things."
Kyle Trask and Connor Bazelak will handle the quarterbacking duties in place of Mayfield, who has yet to miss a game during his two Pro Bowl seasons with the Buccaneers.
Mayfield, 30, set career-high totals in passing yards (4,500) and touchdowns (41) in 17 games last season. He also completed a personal-best 71.4 percent of his passes.
He has thrown for 24,832 yards, 171 TDs and 90 interceptions in 106 regular-season games (103 starts) for the Cleveland Browns (2018-21), Carolina Panthers (2022), Los Angeles Rams (2022) and Buccaneers.
The Browns made him the first overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.
