Comment all game long below!

Nothing in September is more exhilarating than opening day, especially at home at The Licht House.

Rookie tight end Devin Culp.

One of the stupidest NFL rules says not every player on the 53-man roster gets to play on game day.

As a result, some players are ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to a game.

Today’s inactive Buccaneers are cornerback Tyrek Funderburk, safety Kaevon Merriweather, edge rusher José Ramirez, newcomer guard/tackle Royce Newman, rookie tight end Devin Culp and injured defensive linemen Logan Hall and Calijah Kancey.
