Todd Bowles reveals plans for playing Buccaneers’ starters

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of only a few teams with nothing to play for in Week 18, raising questions about whether they might rest starters ahead of the playoffs. That, apparently, is not on coach Todd Bowles’ mind.

The Buccaneers have locked up the No. 4 seed in the NFC after clinching the NFC South by beating Carolina on Sunday. Bowles was dismissive of the idea of resting players, though, arguing that players are no more or less likely to get hurt in the 17th game than they are in the first.
