Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: To start first preseason game
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Mayfield will start Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers, but Kyle Trask will get the starting nod for the team's second preseason contest Aug. 19 versus the Jets, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Mayfield and Trask are listed as co-starters for the top spot on the Buccaneers' first unofficial depth chart, and the team will indeed take a look at both options during the preseason. Mayfield will get the first shot to start, though Greg Auman of Fox Sports relays that it doesn't necessarily mean Mayfield is ahead in the quarterback competition. The ultimate factor in determining Tampa Bay's starter for Week 1 could come down to which of the two signal-callers performs better in preseason action.
