Buccaneers safety T.J. Ward said he is upset over his playing time after Tampa Bay lost its third consecutive game Sunday, dropping its record to 2-4.
Tampa Bay has been using a rotation in its secondary to utilize Ward and fellow safeties Chris Conte, Justin Evans and Keith Tandy because of their different skill sets, but Ward is not a fan of that approach.
"I came here to be an impact player," Ward said according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. "I can't do that that if I'm not on the field."
The three-time Pro Bowler added that he was at his "wit's end" and that only defensive coordinator Mike Smith or coach Dirk Koetter could explain why he has not been used more.
