Antoine Winfield Jr. - Another productive showing Week 2 Winfield tallied seven tackles (six solo), including one sack, during the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints in Week 2.
Impact The star safety enjoyed his second consecutive productive showing to open the season. Winfield has stood out early from an IDP perspective with 13 tackles, an interception and a sack across his first two games, perhaps foreshadowing a breakout third season in the Buccaneers' aggressive defensive scheme.

Mike Evans - One-game suspension upheld The NFL upheld Evans' one-game suspension Wednesday, with the receiver set to serve the ban Sunday against the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Evans was handed the suspension as a result of his Week 2 altercation with the Saints' Marshon Lattimore, and after an unsuccessful appeal, the four-time Pro Bowler will be sidelined for Week 3. The Buccaneers could also be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) this weekend, prompting the team to sign Cole Beasley to the practice squad to provide depth behind Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Kaylon Geiger.

Kenny Young - Added to Bucs' active roster Young was signed to the Buccaneers' 53-man roster Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Young will suit up with the active roster for the second time this season when the Buccaneers take on the Packers on Sunday. The linebacker logged 17 snaps on special teams in Week 2, failing to make a tackle. Young will likely operate on kick and punt coverage again in Week 3.

Josh Wells - Placed on IR Wells (calf) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wells will miss at least four games while on IR after he suffered a calf injury in Week 2 versus the Saints. The injury isn't expected to be a long-term issue or season-ending, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. If Donovan Smith (elbow) can't start Sunday against the Packers, Brandon Walton is a top candidate to start at left tackle.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kaylon Geiger - Signed to active roster The Buccaneers signed Geiger from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out, Geiger was elevated to the active roster and made his NFL debut in the team's win over the Saints on Sunday, playing eight total snaps (one offensive). It's unclear when Jones or Godwin will be able to play again and Mike Evans is facing a possible one-game suspension, so Geiger has received a more secure spot on the active roster, though he figures to still operate primarily on special teams.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Giovani Bernard - Ticketed for IR The Buccaneers will place Bernard (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The transaction ensures that Bernard will be sidelined for at least the Buccaneers' next four games after he sustained the ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Saints. After recording 23 receptions in 12 games in his first season with Tampa Bay while often serving as a sub off the bench on passing downs, Bernard had exclusively played on special teams through the Bucs' first two games of 2022. Bernard's upcoming absence could pave the way for Ke'Shawn Vaughn to dress as the team's third running back behind starter Leonard Fournette and top backup Rachaad White.

Josh Wells - Not expected to play Week 3 Head coach Todd Bowles said Wells (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Wells suffered a calf injury during the first half of Sunday's contest against the Saints, and he was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. If both Wells and Donovan Smith (elbow) are unable to suit up Week 3, Brandon Walton and Fred Johnson would be the candidates to start at tackle opposite Tristan Wirfs.

Akiem Hicks - Likely to miss time Hicks could miss up to four weeks with a plantar fascia tear in his foot, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Hicks left Sunday's win over the Saints early with the injury. It already was reported Tuesday that he'd be out for Week 3 against the Packers, but the 32-year-old's absence may extend beyond just this week. Hicks' inability to play likely will lead to extra opportunity for 2022 second-round selection Logan Hall.
