Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Sunday that there is no timetable to name a starting quarterback for the 2023 season.
If Bowles indeed waits until after the third preseason game to name a starter, it would give the team two weeks to practice with a starter. Bowles said he was not concerned about lack of continuity in that regard.
But Bowles' explanation is that they wanted to see Trask, who has only played in one regular-season NFL game before, run the two-minute drill to close out the half. But then instead of Mayfield coming in for the second half, it was Wolford, who played in the third quarter before suffering a neck injury. Trask wound up coming back in for Wolford.
In extended action Saturday night, Trask managed to throw his first preseason touchdown -- a 33-yard pass to rookieon a post route -- and he didn't turn the ball over, which was an improvement from the first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was picked off on his first possession. So far this preseason, Trask has completed 26-of-38 pass attempts for 317 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and a fumble .
