The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are wrapping up the final practice of the week before hosting the New England Patriots on Sunday. Even though it's an AFC opponent, it's an important game for the Bucs as they look to pick up where they left off before last week's bye.

Head coach of the New England Patriots Mike Vrabel announced that the team will operate without key players Rhamondre Stevenson and Kayshon Boutte on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
