Bucs Depth at O-Line Being Tested

Today the Bucs were without one of their starting lineman as right guard Ali Marpet was held out of practice and was wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Fortunately for the Bucs they have some quality depth as they moved Evan Smith to RG today but it looks like the Marpet injury is nothing serious. With JR Sweezy in question, the Bucs can't afford any major injuries to the offensive line as the depth has been tested already throughout this training camp.

Hopefully Marpet can return to the field quickly as the Bucs are just better with him in the lineup. Good thing the Bucs have guys like Evan Smith and Godser Cherlius who can step in and start if necessary. Another good sign is that rookie guard/tackle Caleb Benenoch returned to practice today after missing the last 3 weeks with an ankle injury. Benenoch has good ability and hopefully can get up to speed quickly because he could be a valuable reserve this season. So some good and bad for the offensive line today, hopefully this is just a minor setback and they can get right for the season opener which is just 18 days away.
