TAMPA — Ali Marpet goose stepped his way to the practice field Wednesday, the result of a clunky walking boot on his sprained right ankle.
J.R. Sweezy, recovering from surgery on his herniated disc, isn't in the doghouse but almost certainly headed to the physically unable to perform list, seemingly destined to miss the first five games of the regular season.
Evan Smith interrupted his battle with Joe Hawley at center to fill in for Marpet at right guard.
Kevin Pamphile, the Swiss Army knife of the group, continued to plug the hole at left guard left by the retirement of Logan Mankins.
