TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes will not participate in the preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a leg injury, two league sources confirmed to ESPN.
Grimes suffered a deep gash on his right shin during practice Wednesday and was down on the field for several minutes as trainers tended to the leg. A cart came out to assist him. He was able to stand up on his own and gingerly stepped into the cart.
“It was a laceration,” coach Dirk Koetter said.
