  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Limited to open week

    Smith (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Smith has missed the last three games due to a knee injury he suffered during practice in early November. Wednesday was the first time Smith practiced since suffering the injury, which indicates that he is progressing through his recovery. The rookie third-rounder will have two more chances this week to practice in full ahead of Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Sidelined for Wednesday's practice

    Edwards (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Edwards was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain following the Bucs' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday. He's expected to be sidelined for Week 14 against the Raiders this Sunday, so his inactivity in Wednesday's practice doesn't come as a surprise. Still, Edwards would give himself a small chance to play if he were to return to practice over the next two days.

  • Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Nelson (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.

    Nelson started at outside linebacker opposite Yaya Diaby against the Panthers in Week 13 due to Joe Tryon-Dhoyinka being ruled out with an ankle injury. Nelson played a season-high 53 defensive snaps and finished with six tackles (five solo), but it appears he may have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. He'll have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

  • Buccaneers' K.J. Britt: DNP to open week

    Britt (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Britt suffered an ankle injury during the first half of the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday. The injury was severe enough for him to not return in the second half of the contest, and he was held out of the Buccaneers' first official practice of the week. Britt will have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's home game against the Raiders.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: No practice Wednesday

    Irving was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to hip and back injuries.

    Irving was seen limping as the Buccaneers went to the locker room at halftime this past Sunday at Carolina and deemed questionable to return at the start of the third quarter. He reentered the contest and ended up pacing Tampa Bay with 25 carries for 152 yards and one touchdown, while adding three catches (on three targets) for 33 yards. Irving told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times on Monday that he was feeling much better one day removed from the game, but a pair of health concerns are impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances Thursday and Friday to put himself on a path to being available Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Tending to two health concerns

    Evans didn't practice Wednesday due to hamstring and calf injuries.

    Evans was sidelined Weeks 8-10 due to a strained right hamstring, so its mention may be a residual of that injury. But with a pair of lower-body issues now in tow, his status will be watched as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger off missing another contest.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Ready to practice in full

    Head coach Todd Bowles said that Mayfield (leg) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Bowles confirmed that Mayfield was dealing with right leg soreness following the team's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday, after the quarterback was spotted limping around in the locker room following the contest. On a positive note, Mayfield looks to have mostly moved past the injury, as Bowles noted that the quarterback would have been a full participant even if Tampa Bay had held a more traditional practice session to kick off Week 14 prep. Assuming he experiences no complications during practices Thursday and Friday, Mayfield should head into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. The home matchup with a 2-10 Las Vegas squad provides Mayfield with a good bounce-back opportunity after the Panthers contained him to 235 passing yards and one touchdown while intercepting him twice in Week 13.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Unlikely to play Week 14 vs. Vegas

    Edwards suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Edwards was unable to return to this past Sunday's game after straining his hamstring in the first half, and he finished the contest with four tackles (two solo). The Grade 1 strain indicates Edwards avoided a serious injury, but the expectation is that he'll likely be out for at least one week. If he's unable to play against the Raiders on Sunday, Edwards' next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. Christian Izien is the top candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Antoine Winfield due to Edwards' injury, and the Bucs added depth to the position by signing Kaevon Merriweather off the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.
