9:33pm: INJURY ALERT – GABBERT LEAVES GAME

Not a good start to the second half for the Buccaneers. Backup QB Blaine Gabbert has left the game with a left shoulder injury.

Gabbert scrambled for a first down when he suffered the injury, as he was seen delicately holding his arm as he walked off the field with training staff.

Third-string quarterback Ryan Griffin, who now could be thrust into a roster spot if Gabbert’s injury is serious, is now in the game under center. — JB Biunno [Edited to reflect Gabbert injury update.]

9:08pm: HALFTIME – BUCS TRAIL BY NINE

Jordan Whitehead’s interception to end the second quarter aside, it was mostly a frustrating first half for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cleveland Browns lead 9-0 on Austin Seibert’s three field goals. The Bucs defense flashed some signs of promise for the 2019 regular season under new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, however, the team’s offensive line struggled.
