The Tampa Bay Buccaneers dropped their second preseason game of 2024 against the Jaguars on Saturday night 20-7 after beating the Cincinnati Bengals in preseason Week 1.

The Buccaneers starters didn't get any burn in this one as Todd Bowles and the staff gave the backups more opportunities in the contest. The performance wasn't the best for the Bucs, but five defensive players stood out as they earned high marks from Pro Football Focus for their efforts against the Jags.

1. OLB Lwal Uguak

PFF grade: 86.8

2. DT C.J. Brewer

PFF grade: 77.6

3. MLB Vi Jones

PFF grade: 75.8

4. CB Keenan Isaac

PFF grade: 75.6

5. DT William Gholston

PFF grade: 69.7

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will now get ready to host the Miami Dolphins for joint practices throughout the week in preparation for the team's final preseason game, where we will likely see the starters get some playing time before the regular season kicks off in September.
