Bucs RB Bucky Irving (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He played deep into the fourth quarter of Monday night's loss to the Ravens, and there was no report of an injury. We're guessing this was more of a rest day for the rookie and that he'll be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. But we'll see if Irving gets back on the field tomorrow.

Bucs WR Mike Evans is expected to miss the next three games with his hamstring injury, HC Todd Bowles said. Tampa Bay gets the Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers the next three weeks before a Week 11 bye. It sounds like Evans has a good chance to be back for Week 12.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin will have an MRI on his ankle to determine the full extent of his injury before having surgery later this week, NFL Network reports. The expectation is that his season is over. Godwin can be dropped during waiver runs this week.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin suffered a significant left leg injury late in Monday night's loss to the Ravens. He left the field on a cart with an air cast on the bottom half of his leg, and ESPN declined to show replay of the injury (because of the severity). This sure seems likely to end Godwin's season.

Update: HC Todd Bowles said after the game that early indication is a dislocated ankle and that it "doesn't look good," NFL Network reports.

Bucs WR Mike Evans re-injured his right hamstring in the second quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Ravens and will not return. Evans caught a 25-yard TD on Tampa's first possession but aggravated the hamstring injury that limited him in practice this week on another deep shot in the second quarter. We'll look for updates on Evans and track his status this week, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Falcons.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Ravens. We’ll get our first look at what this three-man backfield will look like after RB Sean Tucker’s big Week 6. The entire backfield has a brutal matchup against Baltimore’s fifth-ranked RB defense. See how we project the backfield tonight.

The Jets and Edge Haason Reddick have worked out an adjusted contract for the rest of 2024, and he'll report to the team Monday morning. That will finally end a holdout that has been going since the Eagles traded Reddick at the beginning of April.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Saturday, so he seems likely to play. Tampa Bay's coaching staff said multiple times this week that White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker will all be involved going forward. "They’re gonna get reps, and at the end of the day, whoever’s giving us the best opportunity to win throughout that game will probably get the majority of the carries," OC Liam Coen said Friday. It's a nightmare scenario for fantasy managers. And the situation is made worse this week by the matchup against Baltimore's 5th-ranked RB defense. It'd be nice to avoid this backfield in Week 7 fantasy lineups if possible.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is not listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday but is evidently in no danger of missing the Monday nighter. Evans still carries some added risk with the hamstring issue, but he still belongs in most fantasy starting lineups.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Friday. His availability for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens is up in the air. We'll see if Evans practices on Saturday and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) got in a limited practice on Thursday. He was limited in the first practice last week before missing the final two and then the Saints game. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days. HC Todd Bowles said Thursday that White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker will all play when healthy. "As the game goes, we’ll go with the hot hand and see who’s running what style and how it fits the game, and go with that guy," Bowles added. This will be a tough backfield to project when White returns.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. HC Todd Bowles said Evans "tweaked" his leg in the Week 6 win over the Saints but is "getting better." He has an extra day to get ready for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. We'll see if Evans gets back on the field tomorrow.

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker had 53 total yards for his young NFL career before Sunday's game. But then he racked up a 14-136-1 rushing line and 3-56-1 receiving in the offensive explosion against the Saints. What's that mean for when RB Rachaad White returns from injury? HC Todd Bowles says the second-year back has earned a spot in the rotation.

Buccaneers RBs Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker split backfield work with Rachaad White out vs. the Saints in Week 6. They ran all over New Orleans for 217 yards and two TDs on 28 carries (7.8 YPC). They carried 14 times apiece, with Tucker out-gaining Irving 136 to 81. Tucker also had the better receiving line: 3-56-1 to 2-24-0. Irving got the start, but Tucker mixed in early and often. It was clear from the start that the Bucs were not going to lean on Irving in a feature role. And Tucker certainly earned his touches with a strong performance.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. is active for today's game against the Saints. He has been out since suffering a high ankle sprain late in Week 1. S Jordan Whitehead (groin) and DT Calijah Kancey (calf) are also active. It'll be Kancey's first appearance of the season.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He figures to slide back in as Tampa Bay’s No. 3 WR but isn’t a legitimate fantasy option.

Buccaneers RB Rachaad White (foot) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. That leaves Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, and D.J. Williams in the backfield. Irving should dominate work and is a strong RB2 in Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice and is expected back for this one. McMillan isn’t a viable fantasy play, but his return is a slight boost for QB Baker Mayfield. WR Trey Palmer (concussion) remains out.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He was limited in Wednesday's practice but sidelined on Thursday and Friday. HC Todd Bowles called White a game-time decision on Friday, but the 'doubtful' tag makes him unlikely to play. White's absence will leave RB Bucky Irving in a clear lead role. The explosive rookie has averaged 5.6 yards per carry this season and is an exciting RB2 play in Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday. White either got the day off or suffered a setback with the foot injury he suffered near the end of the Week 5 loss to the Falcons. We should have a better idea of his status for Sunday's game vs. the Saints when the Bucs release their final injury report on Friday afternoon. White's absence would turn RB Bucky Irving into a strong Week 6 fantasy play.
