Blankenship was signed before minicamp and was brought in to compete with McLaughlin as the Bucs look to replace Ryan Succop. Blankenship, 26 went 2/4 on field goals this preseason including going 1/3 in Saturday’s contest against the New York Jets which could have been the nail in the coffin for his case to make the team.
