Latest Bucs Headlines
As the NFL tries to navigate the scheduling of this season with more positive COVID-19 tests popping up, the Bucs next game could be in jeopardy.
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network has reported that the Las Vegas Raiders have placed starting right tackle Trent Brown on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The #Raiders are placing RT Trent Brown on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, per source.
Contact tracing is underway; they’re coming off a bye and players were off Tuesday, so minimal recent contact. Facility is open and practice begins shortly.

Las Vegas is coming off a bye week following a 40-32 upset victory over the Kansas City Chiefs the week before, so they have not been around the facility much.
The Reserve/COVID-19 list was created to place a player on there who either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with someone who has contracted the virus. Pelissero also reported that the Raiders were still going to practice.
The Raiders had rookie cornerback Damon Arnette test positive on Monday, but he has been on IR.
So far through seven weeks, the NFL has already had to change games to Monday and Tuesday for the Chiefs, Patriots, Bills and Titans because of positive COVID tests.
The Bucs and Raiders are scheduled to play during primetime on Sunday Night Football if the game still goes on as scheduled.
