Bucs replace both starting cornerbacks

TAMPA — If you were surprised by the Bucs making another big change at cornerback — with starters Johnthan Banks and Mike Jenkins barely playing — you weren't the only one.

Rookie Jude Adjei-Barimah, who got his first career start and had six tackles in Sunday's loss, said he found out he was starting when he heard his name announced as the stadium's public address announcer unveiled the starting lineup.

"Shoot, I just heard my name called on the intro and I just ran out there through the smoke," Adjei-Barimah said.
