We now know the when and where of the Bucs' season opener — at 1 p.m. Sunday at home against the Bears, as scheduled. So there are other questions to be answered as the Bucs get back in town and players prepare for their first game in at least three weeks.

NFL teams typically rest starters in the final week of preseason, so it's usually two weeks of rest before a season opener. The Bucs had their Week 1 game at Miami postponed due to Hurricane Irma, so it's now three weeks.
