Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On Friday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, three players were listed as questionable: Jalen McMillan (knee), Jacob Parrish (back) and Miles Killebrew (concussion).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers start a three-game homestand in Week Two, with the Cleveland Browns visiting for the Buccaneers home opener. Both teams are coming off Week One losses and seeking to avoid an 0-2 start and it's playoff-dampening effects. The Buccaneers have not lost the first two games of a season in 12 years.

The Buccaneers' revamped defensive line only generated one sack on Joe Burrow in Week One by rookie Josiah Trotter on a blitz. Burrow released the ball at a quick pace which helped to mitigate the pass rush, but Tampa Bay was unable to create consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback. Conversely, Cincinnati compiled four sacks of Baker Mayfield, two resulting in fumbles.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will open their 2026 home schedule on Sunday, Sept. 20, when they host the Cleveland Browns at 1:00 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium. The home opener is presented by Publix, with fans receiving a Buccaneers T-shirt upon entry while supplies last.

Year Two of our "Performance Preview" pick to click-style competition is underway, and we're still a long way from the finish line, but we appear to have started the race under a caution flag. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't get the start they wanted in Cincinnati, losing their season opener for the first time since 2020, and our attempts to predict the star of the game didn't fare much better.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play their 2026 home opener on Sunday, September 20, at Raymond James Stadium, when the Cleveland Browns visit. Both the Buccaneers and Browns will be looking to avoid an 0-2 start to the season after opening their campaign with road losses. Tampa Bay lost 33-27 in Cincinnati as their comeback fell short after the self-inflicted wounds of four lost fumbles put them in an early hole.

On Thursday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miles Killebrew (concussion) and Jacob Parrish (back) practiced in a limited capacity. Additionally, Jalen McMillan (knee) was a full participant for the second-consecutive day and defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson had a veteran rest day.

In Week One against the Bengals at Paycor Stadium, Bucky Irving helped ignite the offense. Irving made an impact in both the rushing and passing game, finishing with 93 yards from scrimmage. Irving matched his career-high with seven receptions and notched 48 receiving yards, 45 rushing yards and a touchdown. In the second quarter, he made a lethal jumpcut and bounced to the outside for the score and averaged 5.6 yards per rush in the clash.

Third-year wideout Jalen McMillan was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the home opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 20. McMillan suffered a knee injury early in training camp, sidelining him for several weeks. He practiced in a limited capacity last week and was ruled out in Week One against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on another AFC North opponent in Week Two, welcoming the Cleveland Browns for a 1:00 p.m. ET clash at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, September 20. The matchup will be broadcast locally on CBS and the Bucs will look to go 1-1 after a 33-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week One. In the season opener, four Tampa Bay fumbles led to 24 points for Cincinnati and the club will vie for redemption at home.
