There are some adjustments to the defensive depth chart, as cornerback Jamel Dean went to injured reserve on Monday and defensive lineman Earnest Brown was activated from I.R. The Bucs are actually carrying seven defensive linemen and simply 4 cornerbacks, although safeties Tykee Smith and Christian Izien blur the strains as slot corners. Brown performed 16 defensive snaps in his Buccaneers debut. Rookie Tyrek Funderburk performed all 59 defensive snaps rather than Dean.

Exterior linebacker Anthony Nelson had a barely larger snap rely on protection than common, logging 36 performs, or 61% of the entire. That was another than starter Yaya Diaby, who completed the sport with 5 tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss.

PR: Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan *

KR: Sean Tucker, Trey Palmer

(On the apply squad: P Trenton Gill)

Gill was elevated from the apply squad and took care of the punting, holding and kickoff duties towards Baltimore, with Jake Camarda on the inactive checklist. That marked the third time Gill was elevated for sport day, which means he’s now out of such choices. Palmer returned to his major punt return duties and ran one chill for seven yards.

Even together with his expanded function on protection, Nelson continued to be the workforce’s most energetic particular teamer. He was on the sector for 27 of the workforce’s 29 performs in kick and protection, or 93% of the entire. Tight finish Ko Kieft logged 18 particular groups performs and had one of many workforce’s two kick protection tackles. Rookie linebacker Antonio Grier, who performed 16 particular groups snaps, had the opposite one.
