Buccaneers vs Dolphins team news
Tampa Bay Buccaneers team news
Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield has yet to take the field in either preseason game, though head coach Todd Bowles hinted that most, if not all, of the team's starters could see action in their final preseason matchup against Miami. However, Bowles wasn't clear about Mayfield's participation, leaving his status for the game uncertain.
If Mayfield does play, it will likely be in a limited capacity, as Kyle Trask and John Wolford continue to vie for the backup quarterback role.
If the starters do play, it would mark the first preseason appearance for wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, as well as the anticipated starting running back Rachaad White. The Buccaneers are expected to give carries to Sean Tucker, who has accumulated 100 rushing yards this preseason, and rookie Bucky Irving, who has 54 yards over the two games. The top receiver from their second game was Cody Thompson, who tallied 66 yards and a touchdown.
Miami Dolphins team news
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made his preseason debut in the second game against Washington, delivering a flawless performance by completing all five of his passes for 51 yards and a touchdown before being taken out.
While Tagovailoa might take a few more snaps in this upcoming game, his position as Miami's starting quarterback is solidified, leaving the real competition for the backup role. Mike White and Skylar Thompson will handle the remaining snaps. With neither standing out in the preseason so far, both are expected to get their chances in this game to secure the backup spot.
Miami's primary running backs, Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane, saw action in the second game, though neither managed to rush for more than 10 yards. Chris Brooks leads the team in rushing yards this preseason but is questionable to play as he is in concussion protocol.
Star receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have yet to play in a preseason game, and it's unlikely they'll appear in this one either. Instead, Braxton Berrios and Erik Ezukanma, who were both targeted in the Washington game, are among the top receivers likely to see some action.
