Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford did not accompany the team to Atlanta for tonight's NFC South game against the Falcons, meaning quarterbacks coach Marcus Arroyo will call plays for the third straight game, according to sources. It is not an unexpected development.

Tedford underwent a heart procedure on Aug. 25. He has had a limited presence at practice and in the team's first two games.

There is optimism Tedford will return as the team's full-time coordinator Monday and playcaller in its Week 4 game in Pittsburgh, according to a source.

Arroyo handled play-calling duties in the Bucs' first two games against the Panthers and Rams, both losses at home. He was the offensive coordinator at Southern Miss in 2013 and served under Tedford as an assistant at Cal during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
