Buccaneers Injury Report and Inactives Tonight
On Tampa Bay's initial Monday injury report, a whopping 14 players were listed, including four wide receivers, three offensive linemen, five defensive linemen, a defensive back, and a tight end. However, key players like Mike Evans (knee/calf), Tristan Wirfs (knee), Graham Barton (ankle), and Vita Vea (knee) were all removed from the injury report and are good to go.
Trey Palmer (concussion), Jalen McMillan (hamstring), Calijah Kancey (calf), Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot), and Luke Goedeke (concussion) weren't so lucky this week, and those five have already been ruled out. The Buccaneers head into tonight's matchup with no "questionable" or "doubtful" players.
