The Buccaneers have an interesting battle set to take place at center with Joe Hawley and Evan Smith both having starting experience. But the team tried a new face out at center on Thursday to help build depth. Despite being the starting right guard, the Bucs worked Ali Marpet at center. Tampa Bay will likely have just two alternates on the offensive line on game day, so it will be critical that all players who dress can play multiple positions.

Brent Grimes was unable to practice on Thursday, so Johnthan Banks stepped in and worked with the first team alongside Alterraun Verner.
