Tykee Smith - Active Monday night Smith (concussion) is active for Monday night's matchup with the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The slot cornerback had to miss Tampa Bay's Week 8 loss to Atlanta after suffering the concussion during the team's Week 7 defeat to Baltimore. Smith cleared the NFL's concussion protocol by Saturday and participated in the team's practice session that same day. The rookie third-round pick has 33 tackles (22 solo), four passes defensed, an interception and two forced fumbles in 2024.

Buccaneers without Jalen McMillan in banged-up wide receiver corps for game against Chiefs

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is without another wide receiver after Jalen McMillan was declared inactive due to a hamstring injury for Monday night’s game against the Kans...

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Active Monday night Winfield is active for Monday Night Football against the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The starting free safety injured his foot during Friday's practice and missed Saturday's session, but the injury was never believed to be serious, as Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said he still expected Winfield to play Monday night, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. Winfield has 28 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in four games this season.

Sterling Shepard - Active in Week 9 Shepard (hamstring) is listed as active Monday in Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Shepard was contained to one limited practice (Saturday) during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring issue, but it won't stop him from being available to an otherwise banged-up receiving corps. Tampa Bay will be without all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) in Week 9, meaning Shepard should be targeted early and often by QB Baker Mayfield, assuming he isn't inhibited himself. Along with Shepard, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will be the active options at the position Monday.

Jalen McMillan - Inactive due to hamstring injury McMillan (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game at Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact McMillan showed up on Tampa Bay's practice report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring injury, leaving him questionable for Week 9 action. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported shortly before inactives dropped Monday that McMillan tweaked his hamstring at Friday's session and was slated to sit out, which has come to pass. The Buccaneers thus will be down their top three wide receivers -- also, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) -- meaning Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will compose the team's receiving corps.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Bucky Irving - Suiting up Monday Irving (toe) is listed as active Monday at Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact When Irving showed up on the Buccaneers' Week 9 injury report Thursday, coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the running back's toe injury was something the team will need to manage for the rest of the season. Irving proceeded to log only one limited session (Saturday) and left the weekend listed as questionable for Monday's game. With his availability now confirmed, he'll join forces with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker out of Tampa Bay's backfield. When all three players were active Weeks 7 and 8, Irving turned 18 carries into 67 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all 10 targets for 94 yards. Meanwhile, White had 27 touches, and Tucker was third with nine.

Jalen McMillan - In line to be inactive McMillan (hamstring) isn't expected to be active Monday at Kansas City, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Pelissero, McMillan tweaked his hamstring during Friday's practice, which was the reason for a limited showing Saturday and subsequent listing of questionable for Week 9 action. With McMillan in line to sit out Monday, the Buccaneers' receiving corps will be even further depleted with Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined and Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season. Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will be the wide receivers available for Tampa Bay.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Marquez Callaway - Joins Bucs' active roster Callaway was elevated to the Buccaneers' active roster Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Callaway signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in mid-October, and he's now in line to make his 2024 debut in Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs. The Tennessee product appeared in just three games with the Saints in 2023, recording no stats across 27 offensive snaps. Expect Callaway to serve as a depth piece in a depleted Buccaneers wide receiver room in Week 9.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Bucky Irving - On track to play Monday Irving (toe) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs, but he's expected to play, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact On Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the toe issue is something Irving will have to manage for the rest of the season, but unless the injury worsens, the rookie running back isn't expected to miss time because of it. Irving is still likely to have his reps capped during practices in the weeks to come, which could result in him carrying questionable designations into future games. Irving should be formally cleared to play in Kansas City when the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, and Bowles hasn't suggested that Irving's workload will be limited in Week 9. However, Irving is expected to continue splitting snaps with Rachaad White in an arrangement that may cap the fantasy ceilings of both running backs.

Evan Deckers - Not returning from IR in Week 9 Deckers (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus Kansas City, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Deckers has been out of action since injuring his hamstring and landing or IR in late September. He had his practice window opened Thursday and subsequently logged three full practices, but Tampa Bay has determined he's not yet ready to return to action. Deckers' next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Nov. 10 against San Francisco.

Jalen McMillan - Questionable with hamstring issue McMillan (hamstring) was limited at Saturday's practice and subsequently was listed as questionable for Monday's contest at Kansas City, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official sit...
Impact McMillan was a late addition to the Buccaneers' Week 9 injury report, indicating that he may have sustained the hamstring issue during Saturday's session. His status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff -- along with fellow WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) -- but with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, knee) sidelined, McMillan would have a chance for an elevated snap share, assuming he's active.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Tykee Smith - Tagged as questionable for Week 9 Smith (concussion) was a full practice participant Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports...
Impact Greg Auman of Fox Sports reported before the release of Saturday's injury report that Smith cleared the league's concussion protocols, though Smith has still been given the questionable tag. It's possible that Smith may have to clear additional steps before being given the green light to play Monday.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sterling Shepard - Questionable for Week 9 Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Kansas City.
Impact After sitting out practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring concern, Shepard was able to return on a limited basis Saturday, giving himself a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Fellow WR Jalen McMillan showed up on the Buccaneers' injury report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring issue, so Monday's list of inactives will be key for who may contribute in the passing game in the wake of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) being sidelined.
