TAMPA — As much as the postponement of Sunday's Bucs season opener at Miami to November sets up a grueling stretch of games 16 weeks in a row, it also provides for injured players a much-needed extra week to get back to full strength.
"This is working out perfectly," LB Kwon Alexander said Wednesday after the postponement due to Hurricane Irma was announced. He was held out of practice for two weeks with a hamstring injury.
"I need a little more time myself, but I'm feeling well and was ready and practicing (Wednesday), but without the game now, it's even better.
