Buccaneers' Jacob Parrish: Racks up tackles in win
Rotowire
Parrish recorded nine tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Parrish played on 97 percent of the snaps -- 59 total -- and was highly active during his time on the field, tying Lavonte David for the team lead in tackles. The rookie third-round pick set a new career high in stops with his tally, which was partly the result of the Buccaneers being without Jamel Dean (hip), Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) and Christian Izien (quadriceps) in the secondary for Sunday's contest. Parrish could fill an elevated role again in a Week 6 home matchup against the 49ers if some or all of the aforementioned trio remains sidelined.

There's been no shortage of accolades for Parrish, who played both left cornerback and in the nickel on third down in college while often working against some of the country's top receivers. Parrish recorded 23 pass defenses, including five interceptions, during his time at Kansas State, and he's been showing his closing pursuit on blitzes during camp. Additionally, Greg Auman of FOX Sports reports head coach Todd Bowles has taken note of how Parrish has shown impressively quick adaptability to the defensive scheme. "He's been good since the first day he got here. You correct him very little, and that's a scary thing, especially for me," Bowles said. "You tell him something one time and he's got it. He goes outside, goes inside, plays special teams."
