After suffering a humiliating loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hope to adjust by making changes in their offensive line ahead of their game against the Carolina Panthers.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians will hope to instill better communication in the trenches by slotting in veteran journeyman AQ Shipley at center while another veteran in Ryan Jensen will hold the guard position, as per NFL Network‘s Ian Rapoport.

According to James Palmer, Buccaneers left guard Ali Marpet will remain on the sidelines in Week 10 due to a concussion. His absence on the field left a gaping hole which caused issues between left tackle Donovan Smith and left guard Joe Haag.

The inefficiencies by the depleted offensive line led to a dismal performance by quarterback Tom Brady in their most recent encounter against the Saints. He only tallied 209 passing yards on 22-of-38 passes completed without a passing touchdown.

His weapons also failed to get going as wideout Mike Evans led the team with 64 passing yards on four receptions while running back Leonard Fournette added 41 yards on six touches. The Bucs' offense failed to catch up against the Saints who were connecting on the majority of their passes in the game en route to a 38-3 loss.

The win boosted the Sean Payton-led squad to snag the top spot in the NFC South with a 6-2 tally while the Buccaneers plummeted to a 6-3 record to place second in the same division.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians and the rest of the team will hope that the changes made to the dynamics of their offensive linemen will be enough to power them to a much-needed victory against the Panthers.
