Mayfield Returns for Preseason Clash | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Baker Mayfield gets his first preseason snaps since 2024 this Saturday against the Chiefs, set to play just a couple of drives as Tampa Bay tunes up for the regular season — with most starters expected to see action. That means fewer opportunities for backups Jalon Daniels and Connor Bazelak, especially Daniels, who had a strong showing last time out. While limited reps could signal he’s already in the team’s plans, the final decision may wait until their next game against Jacksonville. For Mayfield, it’s all about staying healthy and getting reps without overextending — the Buccaneers can’t afford another QB injury before Week 1. The goal? Get everyone ready, stay injury-free, and hit the ground running when the real season begins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
