No preseason games brings up concerns of Week 1 readiness for the Bucs

When the NFL and NFLPA agreed to wipe out the preseason during COVID-19 protocol discussions, many wondered how the regular season would hold up.

For now, the season has a green light. However, it brings up concerns about how ready the Buccaneers will really be for their season opener in New Orleans on September 13 against the Saints. Factor in how the league had no offseason conditioning programs then it’ll be really interesting how newcomers like Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and the rookies like rookie right tackle Tristan Wirfs would all come together.
