Tristan Wirfs - Questionable for Sunday Wirfs (knee/foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old offensive lineman sprained his right MCL in Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to the 49ers and practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Wirfs is unable to suit up for the Week 12 matchup, expect Justin Skule to protect Baker Mayfield's blindside.

Tykee Smith - Officially doubtful for Sunday Smith (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reported earlier Friday that head coach Todd Bowles ruled out Smith for Sunday's matchup in New York. However, the Buccaneers' official injury report Friday lists the rookie from Georgia as doubtful. If Smith is sidelined as expected in Week 12, Tavierre Thomas and Troy Hill (ankle) will likely serve as Tampa Bay's top slot cornerbacks.

Troy Hill - Could play in Week 12 Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 33-year-old began the Buccaneers' week of practice with a DNP but upgraded to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, indicating he could be on track to play Sunday. If Hill is able to suit up for the Week 12 matchup in New York, he'll likely see increased playing time as one of Tampa Bay's top rotational slot corners, especially with Tykee Smith (knee) listed as doubtful.

Zyon McCollum - Questionable for Week 12 McCollum (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCollum opened the Buccaneers' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs after aggravating his hamstring injury in Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to the 49ers. However, he upgraded to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in Week 12. If the Sam Houston State is sidelined Sunday, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work with Buccaneers' first-team defense.

6 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jamel Dean - Could return Sunday Dean (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Auburn product has missed the Buccaneers' last four games due to a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. However, he has a chance to return to the field Sunday after logging a week of full practice sessions. Dean must still be activated to Tampa Bay's active roster in order to play in Week 12. If he's not activated in time, expect Josh Hayes and Zyon McCollum (hamstring) to serve as the team's top outside corners.

6 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Mike Evans - Questionable for Week 12 Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Evans missed the three contests before the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye due to the right hamstring strain that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss to the Ravens. Coming out of the midseason respite, he sandwiched a pair of limited practices around Thursday's full session, but there remains a question mark about his potential to return this weekend. Coach Todd Bowles told Laine earlier Friday that Evans will play Sunday "as long as he's healthy and fresh," something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

6 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Tykee Smith - Out for Week 12 Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Smith was injured in the team's Friday practice ahead of Week 10, and he's been sidelined since. This will be his second consecutive game missed despite having extra time to heal with Tampa Bay coming out of its bye. The Bucs are dealing with injuries all over their cornerback depth chart, with Jamel Dean (hamstring) still on injured reserve but eligible to return this week. Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and Troy Hill (ankle) are also banged up.

Troy Hill - Increases practice participation Hill (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Hill opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but the 33-year-old corner was able to go through Thursday's session in a limited capacity. He'll have one more chance Friday to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Tykee Smith - Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Smith (knee) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Smith was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, but he was unable to take the field Thursday. The rookie third-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his third game of the regular season, but he'd give himself a chance at playing against the Giants on Sunday if he's able to return to practice Friday.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Mike Evans - Logs full practice Thursday Evans (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Evans thus is poised to put an end to a three-game absence due to the strained right hamstring that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss the Ravens. With fellow WR Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Evans will be the unquestioned top target for QB Baker Mayfield moving forward as he looks to build upon the 26-335-6 line on 45 targets that he's put up so far this season.

Giants vs. Buccaneers Injury Report – Week 12, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 12 matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants on November 24, 2024.

2 DAYS AGO • DATA SKRIVE

Tristan Wirfs - Limited to open week Wirfs (knee/foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact Wirfs sprained his right MCL during Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to San Francisco. The 2020 first-round pick took advantage of the Bucs' Week 11 bye to get additional rest and rehab on his knee, and he was able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Wirfs will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Chris Braswell - Past oblique injury Braswell (oblique) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Braswell suffered an oblique injury during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. Thanks to the additional rest due to the Week 11 bye, Braswell was able to practice Wednesday without limitations, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Giants on Sunday. The rookie second-round pick has logged 11 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, through 10 regular-season games.

Troy Hill - Working through ankle injury Hill (ankle) did not participate in the Buccaneers' first official practice of the week Wednesday.

Impact Hill was signed from the Bucs' practice squad to the active roster Monday to contribute depth to the secondary. However, he is nursing an ankle injury, which was serious enough for him to be sidelined for Wednesday's practice. If Hill is able to return to practice Thursday and/or Friday, that would give him a chance to suit up against the Giants on Sunday. Hill began the 2024 regular season with the Panthers, and before being released Oct. 18, he registered 32 tackles (20 solo) and one pass defended over six games.
