Baker Mayfield - Dealing with knee issue Mayfield was listed as a non-participant on the Buccaneers' first Week 8 practice report due to a knee injury Monday.
Impact Mayfield has fared modestly in his first campaign in Tampa Bay, completing 65 percent of his passes for 1,363 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions while also racking up 99 more yards on the ground through six games. With a short week to prepare for Thursday's contest at Buffalo, he'll have two more opportunities to handle some on-field work before the Buccaneers potentially give him a designation for Week 8 action.

Chris Godwin - Tending to neck issue Godwin was listed as a non-participant on the Buccaneers' first Week 8 practice report due to a neck injury Monday.
Impact Godwin's snap share (72 percent) during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons wasn't far off his typical range this season (74-86 percent), and he also received a campaign-high 12 targets, which he turned into six catches for 66 yards. In the wake of the contest, he's dealing with a health concern, but he still has two more chances this week to put himself in a position to play Thursday at Buffalo.

Struggling Buccaneers working to correct mistakes and stop beating themselves
Coach Todd Bowles’ message to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was short and to the pointOCTOBER 23, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chase Edmonds - Designated to return from IR The Bucs designated Edmonds (knee) to return from injured reserve Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Edmonds went on injured reserve with a sprained MCL after Week 2 but has missed the required four games, and his designation to return opens his 21-day practice window. The 27-year-old hasn't been much of an on-field factor since leaving Arizona following the 2021 season. He recorded four carries for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in two games prior to being injured earlier this year. Edmonds may be on the cusp of returning to action Thursday in Buffalo after being listed as a full participant on Monday's injury report.

Baker Mayfield - Tops 300 total yards Mayfield completed 27 of 42 passes for 275 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons. He added three rushes for 32 yards.
Impact Mayfield bounced back from his worst performance of the season against Detroit in Week 6, though he still had struggles with efficiency and mistakes. The highlight of his game came early on a 40-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans, accounting for Mayfield's only score as well as his longest completion. Otherwise, the team's explosive plays were primarily the product of runs after the catch. The primary drawback to Mayfield's performance was an interception that came late in the fourth quarter on a drive that could have given the Buccaneers the lead. Overall, he has been a decent game manager, but he's thrown for multiple touchdowns twice in six starts while topping 300 passing yards just once.

NFL Week 7 highlights: Eagles run over Dolphins, Patriots upset Bills, Chiefs upend Chargers
Week 7 of the NFL season continued Sunday with 11 games taking place. Here are all of the highlights from Sunday's slate!OCTOBER 23, 2023
Rachaad White - Works well as pass catcher White rushed the ball 13 times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons. He added six receptions on six targets for 65 yards.
Impact Despite being shut down on the ground, this was primarily a positive performance for White. After slipping into an apparent timeshare with Ke'Shawn Vaughn in the last two weeks, he accounted for 13 rushing attempts as opposed to only four for Vaughn. In addition, White was excellent catching passes out of the backfield, highlighted by a 22-yard gain midway through the second quarter. White is tough to trust given that he's topped 50 rushing yards only twice in six games this season, but he has at least 13 carries and multiple catches in all but one contest.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Godwin - Involvement ticking up Godwin recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Despite a mediocre line, there are reasons to be optimistic about Godwin's performance and his recent involvement in the offense. He led the team with 12 targets and out-targeted Mike Evans for the first time this season in a game in which both pass catchers played a full snap count. Godwin also recorded a 33-yard reception, his fourth gain of 20 or more yards in his last three games after having only one such catch in his first three contests. However, he'll face a Bills defense in Week 8 that has effectively limited opposing receivers for much of the season.

Despite three red-zone fumbles, Falcons still beat Bucs to grab first place

Mike Evans - Tallies fourth touchdown Evans recorded six receptions on eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Evans was out-targeted by Chris Godwin in a full game for the first time this season, though that didn't prevent him from having a strong performance. He delivered a 40-yard touchdown reception deep down the left sideline on Tampa Bay's second offensive possession and also chipped in a 16-yard reception in the second quarter to account for the majority of his production. Though Evans has only one 100-yard performance this season, he now has four touchdowns and has at least eight targets in five of his six games.

NFL Week 7 top viral moments: LeBron James, Taylor Swift celebrate National Tight Ends Day
There was plenty to buzz about on social media during an action-packed NFL slate. Check out the moments that had the internet talking here!OCTOBER 22, 2023
Kaevon Merriweather - Forced out Saturday Merriweather is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons with an ankle injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Merriweather did not come into the game with an injury designation, so it appears he sustained this ankle issue at some point during the first half of Saturday's game. The 23-year-old exclusively played on special teams through the first five games of the season for Tampa Bay, logging three tackles.
OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Wells - Inactive again Wells (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Impact A healthy inactive for the second week in a row, Wells appears to have been surpassed by Payne Durham as Tampa Bay's No. 3 tight end. While playing limited snaps in each of the Buccaneers' first four games, Wells recorded two receptions for minus-10 yards.
OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Vita Vea - Active against Falcons Vea (foot) is active Week 7 against Atlanta.
Impact Vea logged 43 defensive snaps in Week 6 against Detroit, but at some point between that game and the opening of the practice week, he suffered a foot injury. Effectively, the former Pro Bowl defensive tackle was forced to sandwich a missed practice Thursday between limited sessions Wednesday and Friday, but it still won't prevent him from taking the field this week.
OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Nelson - Back in action Nelson (concussion) is active Week 7 against Atlanta.
Impact Nelson sat out last week against Detroit but logged full practices each day this week en route to clearing the league's concussion protocol. Through the first four games of the year, Nelson had accumulated just eight combined tackles, so the reserve linebacker is only on the IDP radar in the deepest of formats.
