Buccaneers' John Wolford: Hurts ribs in second preseason game
John Wolford suffered a rib injury during Saturday's exhibition loss to Jacksonville, Scott Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.Baker Mayfield didn't suit up for the contest, leaving Kyle Trask to play the first half and Wolford to handle the second. The latter couldn't complete the fourth quarter, as he was injured on a roughing the passer penalty with less than two minutes remaining, resulting in Trask reentering the game. Head coach Todd Bowles said after the matchup that he isn't sure how severe Wolford's injury is, but if the QB needs to miss the team's final exhibition game next Friday against Miami, his outside chance of unseating Trask for the backup role behind Mayfield could come to an end. As it is, Trask had the better performance Saturday, completing 12 of 19 pass attempts for 108 yards and a touchdown and adding one rush for four yards while Wolford completed just seven of 14 passes for 52 yards with no scores.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Still has shot at No. 2 job
John Wolford remains in a close competition with Kyle Trask for the No. 2 quarterback job, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.Wolford was the presumptive No. 3 quarterback heading into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first preseason contest, but the veteran journeyman played well during the second half of the exhibition win over the Bengals on Saturday night. Wolford spent time on the Buccaneers' practice squad in 2023, but with both him and Trask starting from scratch in new coordinator Liam Coen's scheme this offseason, it seems Wolford is doing enough to give himself a chance at the primary backup job.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Strong work in second half Saturday
John Wolford completed 12 of 18 passes for 131 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. He also rushed twice for four yards.Wolford played the entire second half after Kyle Trask started and handled the first two quarters. Wolford led the Buccaneers to a field goal on his first drive and subsequently helmed an eight-play, 69-yard march late in the fourth quarter that culminated in a Ramon Jefferson three-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Wolford again profiles as a serviceable No. 3 quarterback heading into the 2024 campaign, and he should continue to see a solid allotment of playing time across the final two preseason games.

Tampa Bay signed John Wolford (illness) to a one-year deal Friday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers' general manager Jason Licht reports.After spending the end of last season on the Buccaneers' practice squad, Wolford has agreed to return to Tampa Bay in 2024. The 28-year-old quarterback has appeared in seven games (four starts) throughout his three-year NFL career, completing 61 of his 104 passes for 626 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions.
