TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS NEWS

Mike Evans - Remains limited Thursday Evans (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact The same goes for position mate Chris Godwin (neck), with both players operating with a cap on their practice reps so far during Week 4 prep. Friday's injury report thus will be key for both players' statuses heading into the weekend as the Buccaneers gear up for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.

Bucky Irving - Sits out practice Thursday Irving (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday but said that he feels "pretty great" and expects to be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' o...

Impact While Irving's optimism about his hamstring offers some reassurance, fantasy managers will still want to keep close tabs on the running back's activity at Friday's practice, which will likely determine whether he carries a designation into Sunday. Irving didn't offer much detail on how or when he injured his hamstring, but he may have gotten hurt at some point during Wednesday's practice, given that he was listed as a limited participant for that session before not practicing in any fashion a day later. The rookie fourth-round pick is coming off an impressive performance in the Buccaneers' Week 3 loss to the Broncos in which he carried nine times for 70 yards and recorded three receptions for 14 yards.

Buccaneers vs. Eagles Injury Report – Week 4, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 4 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 29, 2024.

SEPTEMBER 25 • DATA SKRIVE

Bucky Irving - Limited with hamstring injury Irving was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Impact There was no sign of trouble in a 26-7 loss to Denver on Sunday, when Irving took nine carries for 70 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards while playing 32 percent of snaps on offense. Rachaad White took more than twice as many snaps (73 percent) but got three fewer carries and one fewer touch than Irving, adding more fuel to speculation that the rookie may eventually take over as Tampa Bay's lead back. It's unclear at this point if Irving's hamstring injury will be a factor in determining their respective workloads during a Week 4 home game against the Eagles.

Chris Godwin - Tending to neck issue Godwin was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Both Godwin and Mike Evans (knee) are kicking off Week 4 prep with the same amount of on-field work, placing a cloud over the upcoming availability of Tampa Bay's top two wide receivers. The pair will have two opportunities to get back to full this week before the team potentially gives them designations ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.

Impact Both Evans and Chris Godwin (neck) opened Week 4 prep with the same amount of on-field work, placing a cloud over the statuses of Tampa Bay's top two wide receivers. The pair will have two chances to get back to all activity this week before the team potentially tags them with designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Calijah Kancey - Making progress Kancey (calf) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Kancey has yet to play this season after injuring his calf during Week 1 prep. His return to the field in any form is a sign the Minnesota product is making progress in his recovery, but as Auman insinuates, he's probably closer to doubtful than questionable for this Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, his status for Thursday and Friday will likely bring better clarity there.

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Gets on field Winfield (foot) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Winfield has been out of action and not practicing since he suffered the injury in a Week 1 win over the Commanders. His return to the field in any form is a sign the Minnesota product is making progress in his recovery, but as Auman insinuates, he's probably closer to doubtful than questionable for this Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, his status for Thursday and Friday will likely bring better clarity there.

Chris Braswell - Pair of QB hits in loss Braswell delivered one assisted tackle and two quarterback hits in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Braswell played on 23 snaps overall (34 percent) and was able to make contact with Bo Nix twice during the lopsided loss. The rookie second-round pick is filling a modest rotational role thus far in his nascent career, topping out at 24 snaps back in Week 1 and recording just three tackles (one solo) across his first three contests.

Zyon McCollum - Gets hands on two more passes McCollum furnished six tackles (three solo) and defensed two passes in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact McCollum has now gotten his hands on six passes over the last two games, with one of those going for an interception. The third-year pro, who is handling the starting right cornerback role this season following the departure of Carlton Davis, has allowed a minuscule 27.3 completion percentage and 3.3 yards per attempt on the 11 pass attempts he's faced in primary coverage through three games.

Jordan Whitehead - Solid tackle output in loss Whitehead tallied six tackles (three solo) in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact The veteran safety tied with several teammates for third in tackles on the afternoon for the Buccaneers. Whitehead has played the last two games without Antoine Winfield (foot) alongside him in the defensive backfield, and the former has collected 17 tackles (11 solo) and a defensed pass over that span.

K.J. Britt - Six-tackle effort in loss Britt recorded six tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Britt tied with several teammates for third in tackles on the afternoon. The fourth-year pro played on 35 snaps (51 percent) overall, and he's accrued a solid 15 tackles (10 solo) in his part-time role thus far.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Palmer - Blanked again in Sunday's loss Palmer failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Palmer played on just 12 snaps from scrimmage overall (21 percent) and added another five on special teams. The second-year wideout saw 20 snaps on offense in the season-opening win over the Commanders, but he's only combined for one more than that over the previous two games. Palmer remains a fantasy afterthought for the time being in a No. 4 receiver role that hasn't facilitated any production thus far.

Payne Durham - Makes first catch of season Durham secured his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Durham was in on 21 percent of the snaps -- 12 plays total -- which represented a new low over his first three games. However, the second-year prop at least came away with his first reception of the season. Top tight end Cade Otton finally saw his production rise in new coordinator Liam Coen's scheme with a seven-catch outing, but Durham still doesn't have a very bright outlook as his backup considering he's primarily being used in a blocking capacity.
