Tampa -- It's only preseason so there is no surprise that there have been several lineup changes for tonight's game.

For the Patriots, quarterback Matt Cassel will start in place of Tom Brady, who did not make the trip to Tampa because of a sore foot.

The Patriots offensive line is a bit banged up as well. At left tackle, Wesley Britt will start for Matt light. At right guard, Billy Yates will start in place of Stephen Neal.

On defense, Pierre Woods starts at outside linebacker in place of Adalius Thomas and inside linebacker Jerod Mayo will start in place of Victor Hobson.

At strong safety, Brandon Meriweather starts in place of Rodney Harrison and Antwain Spann will star in place of James Sanders.

For the Bucs, Brian Griese will start at quarterback for Jeff Garcia, wide receiver Antonio Bryant starts in place of Joey Galloway, and fullback Byron Storer will start in place of B.J. Askew.
