With Nelson listed as questionable and Barrett entering the weekend as questionable, undrafted rookie Marquise Watts could see action for the first time this season. Watts performed well in training camp and the preseason, ultimately earning a spot on the final 53-man roster.
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles has said he likes the depth at outside linebacker, with Watts and fellow rookie Yaya Diaby playing a bigger role on the other side of the third. The depth of the team’s depth will likely be tested this week, as there is a possibility that they will have to do so. -Pass rusher Joe Tryon Soyinka.
