Buccaneers' Chris Braswell: Solid output in preseason debut
Chris Braswell recorded four tackles (two solo) in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.The 2024 second-round pick has had some eyes on him this summer, as he dropped weight in an effort to gain quickness and it seemed to translate well to the practice field in early camp practices. Braswell carried the momentum over into his first taste of game action, finishing tied for third in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers while playing on 31 snaps (54 percent). Braswell figures in for a rotational role once again in his second season, but if he can continue displaying an improved feel for coach Todd Bowles' scheme, he should be in line for a boost on the 308 defensive snaps he logged across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.

Buccaneers' Chris Braswell: Refining game going into Year 2
Chris Braswell has looked quicker in training camp after some offseason weight loss and is also working on several other aspects of his game, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.Head coach Todd Bowles noted Thursday that Braswell's weight loss was intended to translate to the field in terms of improved quickness, and that strategy seems to have worked.

Braswell spent the offseason working with fellow pass rusher Yaya Diaby, and Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports Braswell has also been focusing on his sharpening his run defense and pass coverage drops.

Buccaneers' Chris Braswell: Very quiet rookie season
Chris Braswell recorded 18 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.The rookie second-round pick didn't come close to living up to expectations after finishing his college career at Alabama with 75 tackles, including 10.5 sacks, across 41 games. Braswell never topped four tackles in any game while playing 307 snaps in a rotational role, and he didn't record the first full sack of his career until Week 17 against the Panthers. Braswell posted just two total tackles and his fumble recovery from Week 15 through the wild-card loss to the Commanders, so he's heading into the offseason on a particularly sharp downturn.
