An update has emerged on the concerning video of a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan who appeared to be passed out during last week’s preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers.
Earlier this week, a video surfaced of a female Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan passed out in her seat at Raymond James Stadium in Saturday’s preseason opener, a 29-7 victory for the home team.
In the video, a male was seen trying to wake the woman by shaking her with his arm around her shoulder. Folks on X/Twitter who saw the video got worried and speculated that she was drunk or potentially drugged.

An extended video of the incident has since been released. Two paramedics can be seen walking down to her seat and checking on the woman, who is now awake. They help the fan to her feet, and she briefly speaks to the male before paramedics take her away.
Apparently, the male fan decided to continue watching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Tennessee Titans game after paramedics took the woman out:

TikTok user @prettyp791, who filmed the entire incident, posted another video of the male fan returning to his seat, seemingly gathering the woman’s belongings:
The Titans and Buccaneers primarily played their second and third-stringers in the preseason opener. Backup quarterback Kyle Trask got most of the reps for the home team, completing 12 of 16 pass attempts for 129 yards in the victory.
Coming off a 10-win season and NFC South title, the Baker Mayfield-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to capture their fifth straight division title and extend their franchise-best playoff appearance streak to six.
Tampa Bay begins the 2025 season with a road tilt against the NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 7.
