Pregame Report: Opportunity Knocks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are banged up, but the Monday night spotlight is a perfect balm for their aches and pains.

The Buccaneers return to Monday Night Football for the first time since 2013 and do so with a divisional road game against the defending NFC South champs, a similarly battered Carolina Panthers squad. The Bucs are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and will be relying on some down-the-depth-chart contributors to do so with six players ruled out for the game due to injury.

INFO: HOW TO WATCH THE GAME

"I think the players are obviously excited [for] Monday Night Football," said Head Coach Dirk Koetter.
