Here are five players to watch tonight as the Buccaneers take on the Cowboys as they could be playing for a spot on the Buccaneers’ final 53-man roster.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to round out the preseason tonight against the Dallas Cowboys as the regular season is right around the corner. Most of the established starters will not see playing time tonight as they prepare for the San Francisco 49ers in week one of the season, but guys fighting for a job will be given one last opportunity to turn the heads of the Buccaneers organization.

Throughout this postseason, some players have already made a name for themselves and are now likely to make the roster; this list of players includes Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Tanner Hudson, and Dare Ogunbowale. In the past, players like Adam Humphries, Cameron Brate, and Peyton Barber have won roster spots with strong showings from start to finish in the preseason.

The Buccaneers are by no means a finished product, and as head coach Bruce Arians has stated, there are ten jobs up for grabs. There are a couple draft picks who need to prove they deserve to make the team in Tampa Bay, while undrafted underdogs try to rip roster spots from them.
