INJURIES

DNP to open week Izien (elbow) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Izien registered seven tackles (five solo) during the Bucs' Week 5 loss to the Falcons, but it appears he may have picked up an elbow injury in the process. He'll have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. Izien has recorded 30 tackles (20 solo), three passes defended (one interception) and one forced fumble through the first five games of the regular season.

Still nursing groin injury Whitehead (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Whitehead suffered a groin injury in Week 4 against the Falcons on Thursday Night Football. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Saints. Through the first five games of the regular season, Whitehead has accumulated 36 tackles (24 solo) and three passes defended.

Returns to practice Wednesdy Winfield (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Prior to Wednesday's session, Winfield hadn't participated in practice or played in a game since Week 1 against the Commanders due to a foot injury. It's a step in the right direction for the 2020 second-round pick, but Winfield will need to continue to see the field this week if he wants to return for Sunday's NFC South clash against the Steelers.

Dealing with foot issue White was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.
Impact White has yet to reach the end zone through five games this season, but he's at least been more efficient on the ground the last two contests, averaging 6.0 yards on his 20 carries. Rookie fourth-round RB Bucky Irving has been nearly as crisp all season, with 5.6 YPC and a TD on his 44 rushes. Now that White has made an appearance on the Buccaneers' first Week 6 practice report, his status will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at New Orleans.

Spencer Rattler set to start at QB for the Saints against the Buccaneers

Still not practicing Palmer (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Palmer has yet to mix into drills since suffering a concussion Week 4 against the Eagles. With no visible progress through the protocol for head injuries, he may be in danger of missing a second game in a row Sunday at New Orleans, but he'll have two more sessions this week to attempt to get on a path to suiting up. Fellow WRs Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) were limited Wednesday, giving them far better odds to be available this weekend behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in return to practice McMillan (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Impact Since injuring his hamstring Friday, Sept. 27, McMillan missed the Buccaneers' last two contests as a result, but his return to drills for the first time since then indicates he's made some progress in his recovery. Meanwhile, fellow WR Trey Palmer (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, and Kameron Johnson (ankle) had a cap on his reps. How each of the trio fares the rest of the week should determine the pecking order at the position behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in Week 6 at New Orleans, but if he's available McMillan likely will retain the No. 3 spot.

Practice window opens The Buccaneers announced Wednesday that Jones (ribs) has been designated to return to practice from injured reserve, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Brown now kicks off his 21-day practice window, within which he can be activated to the 53-man roster at any time. Once fully cleared, the fourth-year pro is expected to handle a depth role on defense for Tampa Bay.

Hurricane Milton forces Bucs and Lightning to leave Florida early and other teams to alter games

Scores TD in Week 5 loss Shepard brought in one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact Shepard commemorated his signing to the active roster earlier in the week by getting into the end zone for the first time since Week 10 of last season, while with the Giants. The veteran had logged five targets and turned them into a 3-51 line four days earlier against the Eagles as well, but once Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) are healthy again, it's difficult to see Shepard retaining any appreciable, reliable fantasy value.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to kickoff returns in loss Tucker returned two kickoffs for 86 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact Tucker didn't log any snaps on offense for the first two since Week 2, although he showed well with his pair of opportunities to touch the ball on special teams. The second-year back looks destined to continue as a distant No. 3 option behind the high-usage duo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving as long as those two versatile options are healthy.

Perfect on six kicks Thursday McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 53, 32 and 53 yards and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday night.
Impact McLaughlin once again put his elite long-distance prowess on display with his pair of 50+ yard boots, his fourth and fifth makes from that distance in as many attempts this season. The veteran is still perfect on field-goal tries (10-for-10) on the campaign and will continue to serve as one of the top fantasy options thanks to his leg strength, accuracy and connection to a talented Buccaneers offense. McLaughlin could be poised for another prolific performance when he faces off with the Saints in a dome environment in Week 6.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Solid yardage on three grabs Otton brought in three of four targets for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact The third-year tight end finished second in receptions and third in both receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Buccaneers. Otton has firmly put a slow start to the season behind him, recording a 16-143 line on 21 targets over the last three games. Otton should continue serving in a complementary pass-catching role in a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints.

Records pair of sacks on TNF Hall totaled two tackles, both of which were sacks, in Thursday's overtime loss to the Falcons.
Impact Hall was very disruptive in the contest, as he registered five QB hits, including the 2.0 sacks. The third-year pro is up to 3.0 sacks on the campaign, which is already a career-high mark. In fact, Hall's season total is equal to the amount of sacks he posted over the first 33 games of his NFL career.

Paces Bucs with 11 stops in loss Smith registered 11 tackles (nine solo) along with a forced fumble and a defensed pass Thursday in an overtime loss to the Falcons.
Impact Smith was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter but wasn't out long, as he returned to the game before halftime. The rookie cornerback finished with a career-high 11 stops after recording just one tackle against Philadelphia in his previous game. Smith logged 99 percent of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps Thursday and has become a fixture in the team's secondary.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Picks off pass Thursday David recorded eight tackles (six solo) and intercepted a pass in Thursday's overtime loss to Atlanta.
Impact David came up with a big interception with just under two minutes remaining in the contest to put Tampa Bay in a good position for a victory, but the team's offense couldn't pick up a first down, and the Falcons were able to kick a game-tying field goal as time expired to send the contest into an extra period. The pickoff was the 13th of David's career but his first since the 2020 campaign. Through five weeks, the veteran linebacker has recorded 37 tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while forcing two fumbles and registering three pass defenses.
