The Buccaneers now have one preseason game remaining, which Brooks may take part in. Tampa Bay will face the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The game will air on local TV stations for those NFL markets.

Brooks is not guaranteed a spot on the regular-season roster this year, though. The Buccaneers will have to trim their roster ahead of the beginning of the season to adhere to roster limits. However, if injuries continue to loom and Brooks can impress, he could earn a spot.
