Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Page 9 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to suit up Sunday Irving (hip), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against Las Vegas, is in line to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Irving missed Tampa Bay's first two practices of the week but was able to return as a limited participant Friday. Though he was deemed questionable entering the weekend, it appears the rookie running back will be able to take the field versus the Raiders on Sunday. Irving is coming off the best game of his pro career last week against Carolina, as he logged career-high totals of 25 carries for 152 yards along with a rushing touchdown while adding three catches for 33 yards through the air.

Moves to IR Hill (foot/knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hill, who has played just six special-teams snaps since being signed to the Buccaneers' active roster Nov. 18, is now set to miss at least the team's next four games after being placed on IR on Friday. The veteran cornerback is eligible to return for Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against the Saints on Jan. 5 at the earliest.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 14 vs. LV Nelson (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Nelson opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to increase his practice participation over the next two days and will be available for Sunday's game. The sixth-year linebacker has logged 31 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Could return for Week 14 Tryon-Shoyinka (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

Impact Tryon-Shoyinka was sidelined for Week 13 against the Panthers due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered against the Giants in Week 12. He was able to finish the week strong with a full practice Friday, and he appears to be on track to play Sunday. Tryon-Shoyinka has logged 18 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 11 regular-season games.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Smith (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Smith has been sidelined for the Bucs' last three games due to a knee injury. He managed to finish the week strong with a full practice Friday, but the rookie third-round pick hasn't been given the green light to return just yet. Smith's official status for Sunday's game will certainly be known once Tampa Bay releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Raiders Palmer (hip) is listed as quesitonable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Palmer's status is in doubt after a hip injury limited his practice participation Thursday and Friday. Even if he suits up, Palmer will likely remain in a depth role behind Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Evans doesn't have an injury designation after battling hamstring and calf injuries during the week.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Irving (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact A return to practice at the end of the week improves Irving's chances of playing, but the Buccaneers aren't ready to commit to it two days before the game. A 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff is good news for Irving's fantasy managers, leaving plenty of replacement options if he's declared inactive or reports suggest his role will be scaled back. Any lost work for Irving figures to go to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, with the former in particular making for a strong fantasy start in the event Irving is inactive.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Week 14 Evans (hamstring/calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Evans was a limited practice participant Friday after sitting out the previous two days. It seems his absences were a matter of maintenance rather than reflecting genuine concern about his Week 14 availability. Evans put up an 8-112-1 receiving line against Carolina last week in his second game back from a hamstring injury.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return from IR for Week 14 Watts (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Watts opened the week with consecutive full practices, but it appears he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's contest. Watts' next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday vs. Las Vegas Hill (foot/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Hill has played through foot and knee injuries over the Bucs' last two games, but he will be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Hills' absence won't affect Tampa Bay's secondary that much as his snaps have been limited to special teams.

Ruled out for Week 14 Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Edwards will be sidelined for Sunday's game due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain that he suffered in the Bucs' Week 13 overtime win over the Panthers. With Edwards sidelined, Christian Izien will likely be the Bucs' starting strong safety Sunday while Kaevon Merriweather serves in a rotational role.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Raiders Britt (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Britt will miss his first game of the regular season due to an ankle injury he suffered in the first half of the Bucs' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday. Britt will focus on progressing in his recovery enough to return for Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. J.J. Russell is expected to start at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David due to Britt's injury.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing Friday Evans (hamstring/calf) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact His participation after back-to-back absences suggests Evans has a decent chance to play this Sunday against the Raiders. He'll likely have a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Irving (hip) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Reporters saw Irving at Thursday's practice, but he ultimately was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day. It sounds like he's doing more Friday and has a shot to play this Sunday against Las Vegas.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Nelson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Nelson was sidelined for Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury he likely picked up against the Panthers this past Sunday. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his chance of playing this Sunday against the Raiders. Nelson could revert to a reserve role at outside linebacker Sunday if Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is able to return from an ankle injury.

Practices in full Thursday Mayfield (Achilles/knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Mayfield was absent for two plays during this past Sunday's overtime win at Carolina. Afterward, coach Todd Bowles relayed that Mayfield was dealing with some soreness after he was cleated in the back of his right leg by a Panthers defender, but the Buccaneers also weren't worried about the quarterback's Week 14 availability, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. On Wednesday's estimated injury report, Mayfield was listed as full at the team's walkthrough with Achilles and knee issues. He followed that up one day later with another uncapped session, thereby paving the way for him to continue to lead Tampa Bay's offense Sunday against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to hip injury Palmer was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hip injury.

Impact Palmer wasn't included on the Buccaneers' initial Week 14 injury report Wednesday, so his limited listing Thursday could be indicative of an in-practice setback. The wideout will likely need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Officially DNP on Thursday Irving (hip/back) officially was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Despite a report earlier Thursday from Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that Irving was taking part in practice, the rookie fourth-round pick went down as a DNP for a second day in a row due to hip and back issues. Irving will have another chance Friday to mix into drills, and his listing on the Buccaneers' final Week 14 injury report may shed light into his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the healthy running backs on Tampa Bay's active roster.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Thursday Evans (hamstring/calf) officially didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Evans thus has just one more chance to mix into drills during Week 14 prep as he deals with dueling health concerns. The 11th-year pro doesn't necessarily require practice reps in order to be ready for game day, but his listing on Friday's injury report will be of interest in advance of Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

NFL offseason QB market: Where might Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, others land?

Back at practice Thursday Irving (hip/back) was seen participating in the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Irving sat out Wednesday's session due to a pair of injuries, but he looks poised to handle at least limited participation in Thursday's practice. The Buccaneers will release their second Week 14 injury report later Thursday, when the extent of Irving's activity will become known. In any case, Irving's ability to resume practicing in some fashion bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday versus the Raiders.
