The Buccaneers’ unexpected search for a practice field led to a rare assist from a fellow NFC team on Thursday as Tampa Bay looked to continue preparing for Saturday’s preseason game vs. the Jets.
A routine week of preparation suddenly took a turn for Tampa Bay on Tuesday, when Jets coach Robert Saleh canceled the second of the teams’ two joint practices in order to avoid a potentially contentious follow-up session. Ironically, those concerns wound up being met during a heated practice on Wednesday morning.
With the Bucs now in need of a place to practice, the NFC South club’s request would eventually be met by an NFC East foe in the Giants, who offered their Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, N.J. for the day.
