Report: Bengals' preseason opener vs. Bucs in Tampa likely to be played as scheduled

The Cincinnati Bengals' preseason opener against the Buccaneers in Tampa is "very likely to be played as scheduled Saturday night," according to a report Friday morning via Twitter from The Athletic's Greg Auman.

On Thursday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said the game would be played Saturday but could be moved earlier as a tropical depression approaches Florida.

Kickoff for Saturday's game at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

Starting quarterback Joe Burrow is among several Bengals' players not expected to play in the game.

The game can be seen on the Bengals Television Network, including CBS 12 locally, and heard on the Bengals Radio Network, including WLW-AM (700), WCKY-AM (ESPN 1530) and WEBN-FM (102.7) locally.

It can be streamed online on the Bengals' official app, Bengals.com mobile website (Safari only) or Yahoo! Sports mobile browser or app. Fans can watch live out-of-market preseason games on NFL Game Pass.
