Benjamin Morrison could be headed for a bigger role when the Buccaneers return home for Week Two.
Morrison stepped in after Jacob Parrish left Tampa Bay’s season opener against Cincinnati. He responded with four tackles and a pass breakup in his regular-season debut.
Parrish’s back injury could create another opportunity for Morrison against Cleveland. Tampa Bay’s coaching staff has already discussed Morrison’s performance following the opener.
Predicted Stat Line for Benjamin Morrison vs Cleveland
- Tackles: 6
- Solo Tackles: 5
- Pass Deflections: 1
- Interceptions: 0
- Forced Fumbles: 0
Key Factors Influencing
Morrison could see significant snaps if Parrish cannot return this week.
That would give Morrison another chance to build confidence after an encouraging performance against Cincinnati. The Buccaneers clearly saw enough to discuss his play immediately after the game.
Cleveland should provide Morrison with plenty of opportunities to make plays in coverage.
The Browns scored only 10 points against Jacksonville in their season opener. Cleveland will need more offensive production against Tampa Bay.
Morrison’s ability to stay disciplined could become especially important with additional snaps.
The second-year corner has already shown he can contribute when his number gets called.
Final Stat Predictions
- 6 total tackles
- 5 solo tackles
- 1 pass deflection
- 0 interceptions
- 0 forced fumbles
Morrison enters Week Two with momentum after making an immediate impact against Cincinnati.
If Parrish remains unavailable, Morrison should have an opportunity to play a much larger defensive role.
Another solid performance could strengthen Tampa Bay’s confidence in its cornerback depth.
Final Prediction: 6 tackles, 1 pass deflection, 0 interceptions
