Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) and S Mike Edwards (hamstring) are doubtful for Monday night's game against the Saints. That means Tampa Bay will almost certainly miss its top 2 safeties for the game. Keanu Neal and undrafted rookie Nolan Turner are the only other healthy safeties on the active roster. The Bucs could still activate veteran DB Logan Ryan (foot) from IR ahead of the game. Neal has moved up our Week 13 IDP rankings.
Buccaneers DB Antoine Winfield Jr. put in a full practice Wednesday for the 1st time since suffering a concussion in the Week 7 loss at Carolina. That points to him almost certainly returning for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Germany. Winfield sits among the top 20 DBs in fantasy points per game in most scoring formats this year. He belongs back in IDP lineups in most cases.
Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (hip) and DL Akiem Hicks (foot) are active for today's game against the Rams.
The Buccaneers have ruled DB Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Rams. That will challenge Tampa's slot coverage vs. Rams WR Cooper Kupp.
The Buccaneers fear EDGE Shaq Barrett tore his left Achilles' tendon in Thursday night's loss to the Ravens. We'll watch for confirmation, but that generally follows these reports. The injury would obviously end Barrett's season. It also might challenge his readiness for the start of next year. Barrett turns 30 in November and has 2 years remaining on his contract.
Update: MRI confirmed the Achilles' tear.
Buccaneers EDGE Shaq Barrett left Thursday night's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury, rode to the locker room on a cart and was quickly ruled out. That doesn't bode well for the longer-term prognosis. We'll watch for word on a specific diagnosis and return timeline.
The Buccaneers have ruled out CB Carlton Davis (hip) and DB Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion). That certainly helps the matchup for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and his pass-catchers. Winfield has spent more time at slot CB than safety so far this season. So these absences are especially helpful to WR Devin Duvernay and TE Mark Andrews. Duvernay and Davis have each primarily run on the same side of the formation, and Andrews remains Baltimore's biggest threat from the slot. We'll see whether Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman play through their "questionable" designations. Bateman did put in a full practice Wednesday, while Andrews hasn't practiced this week.
Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. left Sunday's loss to the Panthers for a concussion check and did not return. We'll watch for confirmation of the diagnosis.
Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (hip) is inactive for today's game against the Panthers. S Mike Edwards (elbow) is active after missing last week.
Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (hip) and S Mike Edwards (elbow) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Edwards put in full practices all week, so we'd bet on him playing. Davis went limited, no practice, limited. We'll check their statuses Sunday morning.
Buccaneers S Mike Edwards (elbow) is inactive for today's game against the Steelers.
Buccaneers S Mike Edwards (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. We'll check his status Sunday.
The Buccaneers lost CB Carlton Davis (hip) and S Mike Edwards (arm) to injuries in the 2nd half of Sunday's win over the Falcons. HC Todd Bowles had no insight into either situation immediately after the game, so we'll watch for updates on their statuses this week.
As expected, the Buccaneers have re-signed DB Logan Ryan. They released the vet earlier this week to leave room for C Ryan Jensen on the regular-season roster so he could be designated to return from IR. It looks like Ryan will come in behind S Antoine Winfield Jr. and S Mike Edwards in playing time.
