Buccaneers-Dolphins Week 1 matchup could be moved to Week 11 due to Hurricane Irma

The Week 1 matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins could be moved to Week 11 due to Hurricane Irma, reports Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

What It Means:

The storm is now a Category 5 and expected to hit Florida on Sunday, so it's highly unlikely that the game will be played in Miami as currently scheduled. It remains to be seen whether the NFL will move it to another location or to Week 11 when both teams have a bye. Per Stroud, the Bucs expect it to be the latter. If that's the case, Doug Martin wouldn't return from his suspension until Week 5 on Thursday Night Football against the New England Patriots.
