Bucs' Roster Bubble: 3 Players Fighting for NFL Lives
24 Aug
Summary
- Three Buccaneers face intense pressure to secure roster spots.
- Young players and veterans alike are battling for survival.
- Upcoming joint practices and preseason games are crucial.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the final stages of training camp, with joint practices against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the upcoming preseason finale serving as critical evaluation periods. With cut day looming, many players are fighting intensely for a coveted spot on the 53-man roster.
Among those under pressure is outside linebacker Chris Braswell, a 2024 second-round pick who has seen limited playing time. His lack of participation in recent practices and preseason games puts him in a precarious position, especially with other edge rushers vying for attention.
Tight end Devin Culp is also in a precarious situation. Competing for the TE4 spot, he is reportedly losing ground to Bauer Sharp. Culp needs a standout performance to solidify his place, particularly if the team decides to carry an extra quarterback.
Running back Sean Tucker, initially expected to be the third-string back, has seen Josh Williams leapfrog him on the depth chart. Tucker must impress in the remaining opportunities to fend off Williams and secure his roster spot.
