Leonard Fournette - Dealing with new injury Fournette was limited at practice Thursday by a foot injury. Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Fournette previously sat out Week 12 due to a hip pointer and was listed as questionable for Monday's eventual win against the Saints, but he suited up for that contest and got the better end of the RB snap share with rookie Rachaad White, 60-41 percent. Overall, Fournette turned his 16 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage, while White had 15 touches for 69 total yards and a receiving TD. With a new health concern in tow, Fournette's status now is one to monitor ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Still not practicing Winfield (ankle) is still not practicing with the team Thursday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Winfield has yet to practice this week, and instead he was was working with trainers on the side. The third-year-pro has yet to practice since suffering an ankle sprain in Week 12's loss to the Browns, which also forced him out of Week 13's win over the Saints. Although it's still possible he could suit up Sunday against the 49ers, it appears he is likely closer to doubtful than questionable.

Cameron Brate - Gets in full practice Wednesday Brate (illness) practiced fully Wednesday.
Impact Brate sat out last Thursday and Friday due to an illness, but despite practicing in full Saturday he still was given a questionable designation for Monday's game against the Saints. Eventually, the Bucs included him among their inactives, resulting in his fifth absence of the season. Now that he's back to all activity to begin the week of prep, Brate seemingly is good to go as the team prepares for Sunday's visit to San Francisco.

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Still not practicing Winfield (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Winfield and Mike Edwards (hamstring), the Buccaneers' two starting safeties, both remain sidelined to start Week 14 prep after sitting out Monday's comeback win over the Saints. They'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on their statuses for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, but it appears like both players could be held out for a second straight game.

Mike Edwards - Held out of practice Wednesday Edwards (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Edwards and Antoine Winfield (ankle), Tampa Bay's two starting safeties, both remain sidelined to start Week 14 prep after sitting out the Week 13 comeback win over New Orleans. They'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on their statuses for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco, but it appears like both players could be trending toward a second straight absence.

K.J. Britt - Back from IR Britt (ankle) was activated off of injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Britt will return to the field Sunday versus the 49ers after missing the last six weeks (five games) while nursing an ankle injury. The linebacker has made three tackles while playing 138 snaps on special teams this season.

Giovani Bernard - No offensive snaps Monday night Bernard logged eight special-teams snaps but did not see action on offense during the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Impact The veteran back garnered active status for the second time in as many games since coming off the injured list, but he failed to see any action on offense again. With both Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White above-average pass-catching backs, Bernard isn't a priority on offense for the time being.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ke'Shawn Vaughn - Limited to special teams in win Vaughn logged 12 special-teams snaps but none on offense during the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Impact The reserve running back was relegated to a non-existent role on offense with Leonard Fournette returning from his hip injury. Vaughn had logged eight carries and drawn a pair of targets over the previous three games, but Fournette and Rachaad White were the only Buccaneers backs to record any touches Monday night.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Rudolph - No targets on nine snaps Rudolph didn't draw a target over nine snaps in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Impact Rudolph garnered active status for the sixth time this season, but as has been the case on the last three occasions, he failed to draw any targets. If Cameron Brate (illness) is able to return for the Week 14 road clash against the 49ers, Rudolph is likely to revert back to healthy scratch status.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ko Kieft - Another catch in Week 13 win Kieft brought in one of two targets for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Impact Kieft was able to once again make an appearance on the stat sheet with Cameron Brate (illness) sidelined, recording a catch for the fifth time in the last six games. Despite the frequent cameo appearances in the air attack, the rookie sixth-round pick is the Buccaneers' clear block-first tight end even when a pass-catching option at the position like Brate is sidelined.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scotty Miller - Minimal role in Week 13 Miller secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Impact Miller was in on just 15 snaps, which represented a 19 percent share of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The speedy reserve wideout is likely due for similar low-volume games the rest of the way as long as Julio Jones and Russell Gage are both healthy as the No. 3 and No. 4 receivers ahead of him.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keanu Neal - Huge pass breakup in win Neal recorded five solo tackles and a pass defended in Monday's 17-16 win against the Saints.
Impact Neal once again stepped up for injured starting safety Antoine Winfield (concussion). While he only finished with a pedestrian five tackles, the 27-year-old flew in to break up a would-be third-down conversion on a pass to Taysom Hill. The Saints' ensuing punt allowed just enough time for quarterback Tom Brady to lead Tampa Bay's offense on a 63-yard game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Neal has now logged 51 tackles, a half-sack and two passes defended over his first 12 games with the Buccaneers. He could stand to see prominent usage again if Winfield remains out against San Francisco in Week 14.
