The Buccaneers host the Houston Texans tonight at Raymond James Stadium in the preseason finale for both teams.  The Bucs are 2-and-1 in preseason play while the Texans are also 2-and-1.  Bucs head coach Jon Gruden says many of the team’s star players will get little or no playing time tonight, and that includes Jeff Garcia, Cadillac Williams and Joey Galloway.  Roster spots and starting jobs will be up for grabs though.  The team is still looking for a number-two receiver to pair with Galloway.  Maurice Stovall, David Boston and Michael Clayton are vying for the job.  John Wade and Dan Buenning are in a battle for the starting center position as well.  According to reports, Clayton and quarterback Chris Simms are on the trading block so they will be showcased tonight.
