Buccaneers' Donteea Dye: Sees five targets Thursday
Donteea Dye brought in two of five targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 13-10 preseason loss to the Redskins.The third-year speedster saw action on a robust 35 snaps, so his production was somewhat underwhelming relative to playing time. However, Dye did manage to log four receptions in two preseason games after being hampered by an ankle injury earlier in the summer, and he won't have to wait long to find out if his efforts were enough to garner a spot on the final roster. The Heidelberg product appears to have a fighting chance if the Bucs opt to keep six receivers, but could well lose out to Bernard Reedy if they draw the line at five wideouts to open the regular season.
