McNichols only played two snaps in Saturday's preseason loss to the Browns, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After taking 13 carries for 42 yards through the first two weeks of the preseason, McNichols barely saw the field in Saturday's dress rehearsal, losing one yard on his only carry. He figures to make the final roster, but he may not have a role in the Week 1 offense behind Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims.
