Baker Mayfield’s Preseason Role in Doubt

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles has changed his mind about starting quarterback Baker Mayfield in the team’s upcoming preseason game against the Steelers. In a surprising twist, Bowles announced that Mayfield will not play on Saturday after reviewing tape from Thursday’s practice, where Mayfield had shown promising passing skills, particularly when targeting Mike Evans. The decision means that Kyle Trask, Teddy Bridgewater, and Connor Bazelak will be the QB options for the Buccaneers in Saturday night’s matchup.
