Williams rushed 10 times for 29 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. Williams came into the game on the first drive of the second half and tied Sean Tucker for a team high in carries on the night. The undrafted rookie from Arizona is battling Tucker for a reserve running back role behind the projected top duo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving, and he should be in line for another solid allotment of playing time in a preseason road matchup against the Jaguars on Saturday night.

Buccaneers Injury Report
Buccaneers Odds & Projections
Williams rushed 10 times for 29 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. Williams came into the game on the first drive of the second half and tied Sean Tucker for a team high in carries on the night. The undrafted rookie from Arizona is battling Tucker for a reserve running back role behind the projected top duo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving, and he should be in line for another solid allotment of playing time in a preseason road matchup against the Jaguars on Saturday night.
McLaughlin made a 35-yard field goal and misfired on a 51-yard attempt while also making both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. McLaughlin posted a career-best 93.5 percent success rate on field goals during the 2023 regular season and went 7-for-8 on attempts from 50-plus yards, so Saturday's miss was an outlier with respect to his time on the Buccaneers. The veteran placekicker's job is completely secure heading into the 2024 season, and McLaughlin should have a chance to continue working out the kinks over the final two preseason contests.
Wolford completed 12 of 18 passes for 131 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. He also rushed twice for four yards. Wolford played the entire second half after Kyle Trask started and handled the first two quarters. Wolford led the Buccaneers to a field goal on his first drive and subsequently helmed an eight-play, 69-yard march late in the fourth quarter that culminated in a Ramon Jefferson three-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Wolford again profiles as a serviceable No. 3 quarterback heading into the 2024 campaign, and he should continue to see a solid allotment of playing time across the final two preseason games.
Palmer brought in his only target for 21 yards and returned two punts for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. Palmer drew a start with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both sitting out, and he made an impression on his one connection with Kyle Trask. The second-year wideout impressed as a rookie while taking hold of the No. 3 receiver job, but he's now trying to fend off a serious challenge from rookie third-round pick Jalen McMillan, who posted a 2-23-0 receiving line in his first taste of professional action Saturday night. The job battle between the two should continue through the entirety of the exhibition slate, but Palmer's roster spot is likely safe under any circumstance.
Durham secured both targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. The second-year tight end drew the start with Cade Otton sitting out with the rest of the Buccaneers' frontline skill-position players. Durham finished third in receiving yards on the night for Tampa Bay, with the highlight of his performance a 16-yard grab. Durham appears to have a firm grip on the No. 2 tight end job, but it was nevertheless encouraging to see him turn in a solid performance in his first in-game opportunity within new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's scheme.
Jarrett secured both targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night. Jarrett was second on the Bucs in receiving yards on the night, slotting in just seven yards behind one of his primary competitors for a deep reserve receiver spot in Ryan Miller. Jarrett has the advantage of having appeared in 10 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023, but with Miller having recorded a team-high 42 receiving yards Saturday, Jarrett appears to have formidable competition on his hands.
Miller secured three of five targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday night. The second-year pro set the pace for the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Miller was on the practice squad in 2023 but did log two snaps from scrimmage and 12 special-teams snaps in one regular-season game, and his current push to land a deep reserve receiver spot certainly got off to a strong start with Saturday's performance. However, Miller will have to continue standing out to have any chance of that occurring, considering he has formidable competition in the form of Rakim Jarrett, among others.
Greene was held out of practice Monday due to a right leg issue, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Auman notes that Greene had a sleeve on his right leg while also suggesting that the injury doesn't appear to be serious. Greene didn't play at all after Week 11 last season due to a calf issue, but it's not clear if his current leg injury is related. He's competing for a rotational role on Tampa Bay's defensive line.
