Benjamin Morrison’s hamstring tweak could sideline him for the Buccaneers’ preseason opener against the Titans, testing TB’s outside‑corner depth early in the summer. The 2025 second‑rounder, who battled Notre Dame hip surgery earlier in his path, had impressed in practice and early first‑team reps before last‑minute setback. Morrison’s absence opens opportunities for fringe veterans and rookies, notably Jacob Parrish who could be pushed into bigger outside roles if Morrison misses more time. The situation turns the early preseason into a live audition for the Buccaneers’ secondary as depth becomes a focal point.

From a fantasy and betting lens, Morrison’s absence sharpens the stakes for every Buccaneers corner stepping up in his place. The depth chart could tilt toward youth in the short term, making the rotation more volatile but intriguing for late‑summer dynasty and DFS angles. Expect increased competition to define the cornerback group, with Morrison’s status closely watched as Tampa Bay readies for Week 1.
