Zach

Triner

The snapper of the long kind of snaps will not snap longly for at least four long weeks. The Buccaneers replaced Deckers on the active roster with Zach Triner, who seems likely to be the long-snapping type guy as long as Deckers is out.

The Bucs won’t have to start their third long snapper of the season with Triner back in the fold for their Week 14 game against Buffalo. Triner’s return is excellent news for Ryan Succop and the rest of the Tampa special teams.

The Bucs’ entire specialist trio of Succop, P Bradley Pinion and LS Zach Triner have landed on the coronavirus list. It is unclear which of the three, if any, are positive. The most likely assumption is that one is positive and the other two are close contacts. Whoever is positive will be ineligible for Sunday’s game against the Falcons, one that will produce fantasy relevance for kickers. Greg Joseph is the next man up for the Bucs.
