Buccaneers make unexpected move right before kickoff in Week 1

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1of the 2025 season, they needed to sort out their offensive line. Tristan Wirfs being out to start the year obviously threw a wrench into the Bucs' o-line, as their terrific left tackle was unable to play in this game.

The thought was that Charlie Heck would be the starter at left tackle until Wirfs could fill in but -- psych! The Bucs had other plans. The team shockingly has decided not to start Heck at left tackle and instead start Graham Barton there instead.
