Who Should I Start? Kyle Trask or Kellen Mond

Saturday, August 26, 10:48 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask continued to step up and deliver despite being named the backup to open the season. The 25-year-old spent a majority of the preseason competing with Baker Mayfield for the starting gig in Tampa Bay. The Bucs ultimately decided to go with Mayfield as their starter. Despite that, Trask continued his strong preseason versus the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Trask completed 19-of-31 passing attempts for 192 yards and a touchdown in the win. He has been able to limit the turnovers and make some big plays on offense. The former second-round pick is set to backup Mayfield, but will be the next man up off the bench.

The Indianapolis Colts signed third-year quarterback Kellen Mond to its practice squad on Wednesday. Anthony Richardson (shoulder) was placed on Injured Reserve, meaning Gardner Minshew is now the starter for at least the next four weeks. Sam Ehlinger figures to be his backup, so the team had room for another signal-caller. Since being selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Mond has thrown just three passes in the regular season. The Minnesota Vikings released him after his rookie season and the Cleveland Browns released him this offseason. That said, he's not likely to see playing time in the near future.
