Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a significant thumb injury during a 4th-and-13 play against the Minnesota Vikings. After battling in the pocket for what seemed like an eternity, Mayfield threw a downfield pass while being hit by a defender. The forceful hit resulted in him going down in significant pain, with his right hand connecting with the forearm of Minnesota linebacker Blake Cashman on the follow-through.
Mayfield immediately headed to the locker room, holding his throwing hand, after the injury. He had completed 17-of-34 passes for 217 yards, a touchdown, and an interception before leaving the game. The Buccaneers' current season record stands at 0-2. This incident is being treated as a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
