Hours after saying all starters except for WR Mike Evans and LB Lavonte David would play against the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday night, Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ head coach Todd Bowles added QB Baker Mayfield to the list of preseason inactives.
Per The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud, Mayfield played so well against the Steelers in Thursday’s joint practice, Bowles sees no reason to see him again game-action.
After reviewing the tape of today’s practice, Todd Bowles just told me he believes Baker Mayfield played so well today in the joint workout with the Steelers he will NOT play in Saturday night’s game.
