Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano said running back LeGarrette Blount is not expected to miss much time after injuring a groin late in the se-cond quarter of their 30-7 loss to Tennessee on Friday night.

With the Bucs trailing 20-7, Blount, a starter in the backfield last season, took a hit to his left leg during a second-down run with 2:18 left in the half. He remained down on the field for several minutes before rising to his feet and gingerly walking off flanked by trainers. He didn’t return to action, but remained in uniform and sat on the bench throughout the second half.

But Schiano said the injury was sustained by how Blount’s leg was bent backward.

Titans Beat Bucs 30-17 As QBs Seek Consistency

There’s still time left in the preseason to make some tweaks, with neither Tennessee nor Tampa Bay where they want to be at the quarterback position yet.

For the Titans, Friday night was supposed to be a coming-out party for second-year Washington product Jake Locker in his first NFL start.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers were hoping their second preseason game would be one in which Josh Freeman would begin to find chemistry with his revamped receiving corps.

The result? A combined 8 for 21 passing in the Titans’ 30-7 win.

Freeman, whose team took an early 7-0 lead on his 2-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams before trailing off the rest of the way, said he isn’t panicking about where the offense is right now.
