The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping to make the best of an extended road trip that’s anything but normal for a NFL team.

Displaced from Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton making landfall, the Bucs arrived in New Orleans on Tuesday — five days before Sunday’s game against the NFC South rival Saints.

They practiced Wednesday at Tulane Stadium, trying as much as possible to replicate the usual schedule they have would have followed in Tampa.

But instead of driving home from the team’s regular training facility afterward, players and coaches boarded buses to return to hotel rooms being shared with family members and pets.

“Family is the most important thing right now. … If you can get your family out and keep them safe, everything else can be replaced,” coach Todd Bowles said.

“We understand the things we do in football are a small (part) in the game of life and how a hurricane is going to affect people. … Everybody is here, and their families are here. That makes it a lot easier.”

The Glazer family, which owns the Bucs, chartered two planes for a traveling party of about 350 people and 31 pets.

Doubs returns to practice with Packers

As Green Bay wide receiver Romeo Doubs returned to practice after serving a one-game suspension handed down by the Packers, his teammates expressed confidence that the issue won’t cause any lingering distractions.

Doubs was suspended for Sunday’s 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams for conduct detrimental to the team after he didn’t attend practice Thursday or Friday.

“It happened, it’s in the past, and I think everyone’s excited to have him back,” quarterback Jordan Love said. “I think we just move forward with it and learn and grow from the situation.”

After catching 59 passes for 674 yards and eight touchdowns last year, Doubs has 12 receptions for 169 yards and no touchdowns this season.
