Sperm Edwards Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Supposedly ahead of schedule... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000229555/article/darrelle-revis-to-play-in-bucs-third-preseason-game Robert Griffin III couldn't convince his coaching staff to play him in the Washington Redskins' third preseason game. But it sounds like Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis has a much better shot of it. Revis told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday it's a "possibility" he will be on the field against theMiami Dolphins a week from Saturday. Revis' optimism is in step with Bucs general manager Mark Dominik, who opened the door for the cornerback's early return. "You don't want to push," Dominik told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Tuesday. "You want to stick with your plan. But we may want to get him on the field Week 3 of the preseason, get a few series in, get it over with, get it out of his head, so that Week 1 in New York he's ready to go." Revis' recovery from surgery to repair a torn ACL has progressed without setback. He took part in 7-on-7 drills Monday. If the team has designs for a preseason cameo, a progression to 11-on-11 drills is imminent. Whether or not Revis plays against the Dolphins, this is all good news for the Bucs, who clearly are confident the cornerback will be in the starting lineup Sept. 8 against his former team, the New York Jets.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ain't no thang. So long as Sanchez reminds himself to not turn the ball over anymore, Revis won't make a bit o difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryK Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Gotta play. He only has 3 weeks left to tweak a hamstring before they make him play a regular season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Man, I miss that selfish bastard. I wish him well... but also wish he kind of lost half a step so we can feel a tad better about letting the best corner ever, to go to tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
