Moves to IR The Buccaneers placed Johnson (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Johnson had already been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 7 matchup against the Ravens, but his shift to IR on Monday suggests his ankle injury is severe. The Barton College product will now be forced to miss Tampa Bay's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Giants. Expect Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer (concussion) to see increased work in the Buccaneers' wide receiver corps in Johnson's stead.

Shifts to IR Dean (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Dean was unable to practice all week and had been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens after sustaining a hamstring injury the week prior. However, the Auburn product will now be forced to miss the Buccaneers' next four games after moving to IR, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Giants. Expect Tyrek Funderburk and Josh Hayes to see increased work with Tampa Bay's first-team defense while Dean is sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Activated Monday The Buccaneers activated Brown (ribs) off their injured reserve list Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact The Northwestern product has yet to suit up for Tampa Bay this season after sustaining a rib injury in early September, but Monday's activation suggests he's moved past the issue. Brown appeared in seven games with the Rams in 2023, recording five total tackles across just 54 snaps. He's expected to serve as a rotational defensive lineman in the Buccaneers' Week 7 matchup against the Ravens on Monday night.

Expects to play Monday Vea (hamstring) is expected to play Monday versus the Ravens, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vea was a late addition to Tampa Bay's injury report Saturday, when he apparently picked up a hamstring issue, but it seems like he'll suit up in Week 7 regardless. It's bad news for Baltimore's rushing attack, as Vea is as impactful against the run as any other player in the league.

Impact Barton was unable to play in Week 6 against the Saints due to a hamstring injury. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he finished off strong with a full practice Saturday and will suit up for Monday's contest.

Listed as questionable Palmer (concussion) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Palmer logged his second consecutive practice with full participation, so presumably he just needs to clear concussion protocol in order to play. The second-year target has missed the past two games due to a concussion.

Won't return for Week 7 Jarrett (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official sitea repor...

Impact Jarrett started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. His 21-day practice window opened Thursday, and while he was able to practice without restrictions Saturday, he will not be activated off IR for Week 7. Given his practice participation, Jarrett should be available for Week 8 against the Falcons on Oct. 27, barring any setbacks. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Bucs in 2023 and finished with four catches (on nine targets) for 60 yards.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable for Monday White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact White did upgrade to a full participant in Saturday's practice, which is usually a positive indication for one's fantasy value. White's availability also impacts the duo of Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who broke out in a big way in the dominate win over the Saints last week. Head coach Todd Bowles relayed earlier this week that when all three backs are healthy he anticipates the team will roll with the "hot hand", an ambiguous statement that could be a frustrating one for fantasy managers reliant on any of three options out of the backfield.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Vea (hamstring) did not practice Saturday, and he is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Baltimore, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Vea was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring issue. Given his late addition to the injury report, that could make Vea game-time decision for Monday's game unless the team announces his status earlier. Greg Gaines started at nose tackle in for Vea earlier in the year while the latter was dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

No injury designation for Monday Evans (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact There was mummering that Evans could end up being a game-time decision for Monday's primetime contest, but the veteran is arguably one of the most durable players in the league and will play through the injury. Evans and company could be poised for an aerial assault given the Ravens allow the fewest rushing yards to opposing teams.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 7 Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Johnson will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Falcons. He hasn't practiced since the injury, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 in a rematch against Atlanta. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) dealing with injuries, the Bucs' only healthy wide receivers heading into Monday's game are Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up vs. Ravens Durham (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Baltimore, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Durham has been unable to practice this week due to a calf injury he sustained during the Buccaneers' Week 6 win over the Saints. His next chance to suit up will be Week 8 against the Falcons on Oct. 27. Durham's absence opens the door for Ko Kieft and Devin Culp to see more snaps as the backup tight ends behind starter Cade Otton.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Baltimore Dean (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Dean suffered a hamstring injury during the Bucs' Week 6 win over the Saints. The injury was severe enough to keep him out of practice Thursday and Friday, and the 2019 third-round pick will miss his first game of the regular season. Tyrek Funderburk played 56 defensive snaps against New Orleans after Dean left, and the former should draw the start at corner opposite Zyon McCollum for Monday's contest.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing Saturday Evans was spotted participating in practice Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Buccaneers will announce Evans' official injury status later in the afternoon Saturday, but the report indicates this is certainly a positive sign for the veteran's status entering Monday's clash against the Ravens. Expect a more detailed update to arrive in the coming hours.

Practices in full Winfield (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Winfield was a limited participant in Thursday's practice following his first game back from a foot injury. However, the All-Pro safety upgraded to full participation Friday and now appears to have moved past the issue. Expect Winfield to suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens, barring any setbacks.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Full go Friday Izien (elbow) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Izien upgraded from limited work Thursday to a full practice Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his elbow injury. The Rutgers product is now expected to play in Monday night's matchup against the Ravens unless his practice participation downgrades Saturday.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Palmer (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday.

Impact It's a sign of progress after limited participation Thursday, but he'll still need to clear concussion protocol to play in Monday's game against the Ravens, at which point Palmer likely would be the fourth or fifth WR on Tampa's depth chart.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Rem White (foot) was a limited practice participant Friday.

Impact White was also limited Thursday, after missing the final two practices of last week and being inactive for a 51-27 win over the Saints. It sounds like offensive coordinator Liam Coen expects White to play Monday against the Ravens, as Coen said Friday that White, Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving will each get a series early in the game, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. Head coach Todd Bowles made similar comments Thursday, discussing a three-man backfield with a "hot hand" approach. It's certainly possible White makes a bid to retake the lead role, but his days of snap shares in the 70-to-80 percent range are over for the time being.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to side work Friday Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, but he worked with a trainer on a side field, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact It isn't clear if Evans did any running, as the video clip with the trainer only shows him stretching. Coach Todd Bowles revealed Thursday that Evans has a lingering lower-body injury, which probably explains why his snap share dropped to 54 percent and his route share to 68 percent in a 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. Back-to-back absences from practice have him looking uncertain for Monday's game against Baltimore -- a team that's given up big-time production to perimeter receivers this season.
