Week 2 of the preseason gets underway for the Buccaneers Friday evening as they host the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins have been in Tampa this week for joint practices with the Bucs leading up to their matchup. It was a decent week of practices that saw two days with Miami. But head coach Bruce Arians felt they could have practiced much better.

We may see the first team go out for a few series tonight but judging by Arians’ words this week, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if we see the reserves and guys player for a roster spot to start coming in a lot sooner than expected.
