TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Tampa Bay punter Josh Bidwell will miss the Buccaneers’ preseason opener because of a hip injury.
The ninth-year pro had an MRI on Wednesday. The results were being evaluated.
Meanwhile, the Bucs plan to work out two potential replacements before signing one of them to punt Saturday night at Tennessee.
Bidwell was the only punter in training camp. He felt fine after kicking in practice Tuesday, but arrived for Wednesday’s workout in pain.
The injury comes one day after kicker Matt Bryant left practice with a sore hamstring.
Bidwell is in his sixth season in Tampa Bay. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Green Bay Packers.
