Predicted Stat Line: Buccaneers DB Jacob Parrish vs Cleveland

Jacob Parrish enters Week Two with his availability still uncertain after leaving the Buccaneers’ Sunday loss to Cincinnati.

The Buccaneers cornerback suffered a back sprain while making a tackle against the Bengals. His MRI and X-rays were negative, but soreness remains the biggest concern.

Parrish recorded two tackles and one pass breakup before leaving the game. He also spent much of the offseason preparing for an expanded role outside.

Predicted Stat Line for Jacob Parrish vs Cleveland

• Tackles: 5
• Solo Tackles: 4
• Pass Deflections: 1
• Interceptions: 0
• Forced Fumbles: 0

Key Factors Influencing

The biggest factor is whether Parrish can overcome the soreness enough to play Sunday.

Todd Bowles said the tests showed no significant damage. That gives Parrish a chance to return against Cleveland.

If Parrish cannot play, Benjamin Morrison could receive another opportunity after replacing him against Cincinnati. Morrison finished that game with four tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup.

Parrish’s matchup could also depend on how frequently Cleveland challenges Tampa Bay through the air.

The Browns threw the ball effectively at times against Jacksonville despite their 34-10 loss. Deshaun Watson finished with 205 passing yards and one touchdown.

Final Stat Predictions

• 5 total tackles
• 4 solo tackles
• 1 pass deflection
• 0 interceptions
• 0 forced fumbles

Parrish’s Week Two projection comes with an obvious caveat because his availability remains unsettled.

If he plays, expect Cleveland to test him while he works back from the back sprain.

The matchup provides another opportunity for Parrish to establish himself as a reliable outside corner for Tampa Bay.

Final Prediction: 5 tackles, 1 pass deflection, 0 interceptions
