Bucs' Demar Dotson: Groin sprain won't keep him from opener

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got promising news Sunday -- starting right tackle Demar Dotson's groin injury is a mild sprain. He doesn't believe it will keep him out for the start of the regular season.

"Maybe if it was the season, you'd find ways to push through it," said Dotson, who underwent an MRI Saturday which revealed the sprain. "But I think with the preseason, they're taking it precautionary to try and not make it worse."
