Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals: Game Day Open Thread

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set for their first action of 2024 - and even though it’s preseason it means that football is right around the corner. The Bucs won’t be playing many of their starters while the Cincinnati Bengals will be sending Joe Burrow and many of their first teamers on to the field.

The Bucs are still in the heart of some of the position battles, most notably at nickel corner, wide receiver three, running back, and to see who emerges out of the edge rush rotation. There will be a lot of eyes on the battle between Tykee Smith and Christian Izien while many will be focused on rookies like Graham Barton, Jalen McMillan, and Bucky Irving.
