The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already better off now than they were last year when they traveled to California for Tom Brady’s homecoming against the San Francisco 49ers. In that game, the Bucs were without Tristan Wirfs, Shaquil Barrett, Mike Edwards, Antoine Winfield Jr., Sean Murphy-Bunting, lost Vita Vea four plays in, then lost Jamel Dean later in the game.
This time around, the only starter that will be missing due to injury is safety Ryan Neal, who is wearing a cast to protect his injured thumb - and the way his season has gone, some Bucs fans might see that as addition by subtraction.
