Tampa Bay Buccaneers 53-man roster projection: Can Bucs, Tom Brady overcome some changes to squad?

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open the season with a Sunday Night Football matchup on Sept. 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Unlike last season, when the Bucs returned all 22 starters on offense and defense and struggled with injuries down the stretch, this roster has several new faces and is under new leadership in coach Todd Bowles, who replaced Bruce Arians this offseason.

Can this group provide enough to give quarterback Tom Brady one more ring, especially if they don't have veteran tight end Rob Gronkowski? How much will the team miss the leadership of Jason Pierre-Paul, Ndamukong Suh and Ali Marpet?
