The Buccaneers travel south to Miami Thursday night for their final exhibition before No. 1 pick Jameis Winston gets his first taste of regular season football. Like most rookie quarterbacks, Winston's inaugural preseason has had its share of ups and downs. He struggled before finishing strongly in his debut, and carried that momentum over to a solid show showing in Week 2, leading the Buccaneers on an eight-play, 80-yard drive to open up the game.

Winston took a step back last Saturday, though. He completed just 6 of 15 pass attempts for 90 yards and threw an interception in the Browns' thrashing of the Buccaneers. That will likely be it for him this preseason, considering starters seldom play in the fourth game and he's nursing a sprained ankle. Mike Glennon is expected to take most of the snaps for Tampa Bay in this one.

Against the Dolphins, the Bucs would probably like to get a better feel for their depth at running back. Doug Martin’s health continues to be a question mark, though he rushed for 40 yards and one touchdown in nine attempts Saturday.

The Dolphins are coming off a 13-9 win over the Falcons, in which Ryan Tannehill went 15 of 19 for 145 yards and one touchdown. Given Tannehill's impressive the play this preseason, the Dolphins have to feel pretty good about the mega-contract extension they gave to him over the offseason.

With the top of the roster set, the Phinsider outlines a couple of bubble players who will be worth watching Thursday. Wide receiver Matt Hazel and linebacker Mike Hull will have a chance to prove their worth.

Miami will also probably want to see what its secondary depth looks like, considering veteran safety Louis Delmas was placed on IR earlier this month.
