Paces pass catchers in win Godwin brought in six of seven targets for 51 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Godwin led the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards on a quiet day for the air attack. The veteran wideout finished the regular season on a high note, recording at least six receptions in three of the last four games and posting over 50 receiving yards in each of the final five contests of the regular season. Godwin also eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight campaign and fourth time in the last five years with Sunday's production, and he'll draw a favorable matchup to open the postseason against the Eagles' shaky secondary in a home wild-card matchup next weekend.

Three catches in season-ending win Evans brought in three of eight targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Evans logged a pair of receptions for 16 yards on the Buccaneers' first two plays from scrimmage but was then almost shut out the rest of the way. The multi-time Pro Bowler's yardage total was his second lowest of the campaign, and he finished the season just one catch short of reaching the 80-yard mark for the first time since 2018. Nevertheless, Evans could have an opportunity to see a boost in production against the struggling Eagles secondary in a home wild-card matchup next weekend.

2024 NFL Draft order: Every first-round pick as regular season concludes

Solid close to second season White rushed 19 times for 75 yards and brought in all four targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact White filled his usual voluminous lead-back role with success, clearing the 70-yard mark on the ground for the fifth time in the last seven games. White also finished the regular season with at least four catches in three straight contests, and the 2022 third-round pick finished just 15 rushing yards short of the 1,000-yard mark. Nevertheless, White proved a success in his first crack at the lead back role in 2023, and he's projected to continue filling his dual-purpose duties in a home wild-card matchup next weekend.

Bucs clinch NFC South title, Saints rout Falcons, Arthur Smith not happy

Busy final day in the NFC South: Bucs clinch, Saints keep their playoff hopes alive for now, and Arthur Smith goes off on Dennis Allen.

Quiet in division-clinching win Mayfield completed 20 of 32 passes for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed five times for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Mayfield averaged only 4.3 yards per attempt while carrying out a game plan that was unsurprisingly conservative against an opponent seemingly incapable of pressing the Buccaneers offensively. The veteran signal-caller gutted out what appeared to be a lower-body injury that occurred on a first-half sack, leading the Buccaneers to the NFC South title while eclipsing the 4,000-yard mark for the first time in his career (4,044). Mayfield and the Buccaneers will now await confirmation of their opponent for a home NFC Wild Card Game next weekend.

Forced out Sunday Hayes was forced out with a knee injury during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Hayes sustained a knee injury at some point during Sunday's action, and he was deemed doubtful to return before the end of the contest. It's unclear if the 24-year-old returned during the second half, which will leave his status up in the air as the Buccaneers now prepare to play in the Wild Card round of the postseason after the team secured a spot as the NFC champions.

Able to play in Week 18 Gill (knee) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.

Impact Gill was questionable entering Sunday due to a knee issue, but he's been cleared to play. The third-year linebacker has worked primarily on special teams this season, though he logged a season-high 22 defensive snaps against New Orleans last Sunday. That opportunity came with Shaquil Barrett sidelined due to a groin injury, but Barrett is back in action Sunday, so Gill may revert to a smaller role in a contest Tampa Bay needs to win to cement the NFC South title.

Lands on injury report Friday Britt is dealing with a calf injury and is questionable to play Sunday in Carolina.

Impact Britt didn't have any injury concerns during the first two days of Week 18 prep but was a limited participant in practice Friday due to a calf injury. The third-year linebacker thus heads into the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Panthers. Britt has played a limited role on defense for most of the campaign, though he did step in to start in Weeks 14 and 15 when Devin White was out with an injury. If Britt is unable to suit up Sunday, J.J. Russell could see some work on defense.

Activated from IR for Week 18 Jarrett (quadriceps) was activated off injured reserve Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Jarrett's activation paves the way for him to suit up Sunday against the Panthers, though the rookie wide receiver is still officially listed as questionable for the game. He was a full participant in practice during the week, suggesting Jarrett will be available Sunday barring a setback. Jarrett has just 60 receiving yards in 10 appearances, but 41 of those came in his last game, Week 11 against the 49ers.
