No need to play.
If any Bucs fan traveled to Pittsburgh to see Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield play in the Bucs’ second worthless preseason game, the following will come as bad news.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles has decided that Mayfield doesn’t need the work against the Steelers, so why risk it, as noted by [CBS Sports](https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/buccaneers-baker-mayfield-wont-play-after-all-saturday/). Therefore, Mayfield will get the night off.
Per CBS, Bowles was impressed enough with Mayfield’s play against the Steelers in the teams’ joint practice yesterday. It was a practice in which the Bucs passing game dominated with Mike Evans going crazy and Emeka Egbuka looking like a seasoned veteran. Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard didn’t exactly look like bums, either.
