Tampa Bay will be without one of their key offseason additions in the season opener in a disappointing setback.
Despite returning to practice this week after missing most of training camp and all of the preseason, Buccaneers second-round pick Benjamin Morrison will be held out of the season opener against the Falcons.
According to head coach Todd Bowles, Morrison should be back next week, so his absence is more due to the extensive time he missed during the offseason and install periods.
