Larsen stepped in for right guard Alex Cappa after he went down with a fractured ankle against Washington last Saturday and could once again provide depth at the position as third-year offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie is primed to make his first career start against New Orleans. And Bucannon is a familiar face in Tampa Bay as he once again reunites with Arians, originally drafted to Arizona in 2014, after spending five games with the Bucs in 2019 before being released in October.
