The Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the preseason with a dominant 29-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. The team’s young talent was on full display, and four players stood out as they made their case for a roster spot.

Buccaneers who boosted their roster chances against the Titans

J.J. Roberts, Safety

Building on his strong offseason, Roberts shined in his first game action for the Buccaneers.

He finished with five total tackles and had several impressive reps in coverage. He nearly came down with an interception after making a nice break on a pass intended for Xavier Restrepo, then on the next drive tipped a pass in coverage that was intercepted by Tyrek Funderburk.
