“I’ll be watching with you, Chris.”

The preseason opener on Saturday night will not be one for the Bucs’ prime-time players.

Head coach Todd Bowles made that clear after practice against the Titans today. Sure, it’s possible linebacker SirVocea Dennis will be out there to get more work calling the defense and seeing if he can stay healthy. Joe supposes Jalen McMillan will play, as well. But don’t look for the big names that sell tickets.

Joe just hopes the second-team offensive line steps up from its training camp struggles. Kyle Trask deserves the protection.

It’s been a little testy out here at One Buc Palace with the Titans and Buccaneers squaring up in a joint practice. The last practice before Saturday night’s preseason opener between the two teams at The Licht House.

Practice wraps around noon and Joe will have plenty later today.

One of a few serious scrums today.
