The Bucs road game this week on Sunday night against the Patriots might be the most watched regular season game in the history the NFL. It’s built up as the return of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski returning back to New England to face their former coach Bill Belichick and their former team that they won multiple Super Bowl championships with before winning a Super Bowl with the Bucs last season.

We may not get one player that’s in the headlines for this game, however, as tight end Rob Gronkowski is listed as doubtful with a rib injury after taking a very hard hit the previous week. The Bucs may also have to give more snaps to new cornerback Richard Sherman than what was expected as Jamel Dean will be out. Tampa Bay will also see a heavy dose of Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones II with Giovani Bernard unavailable as well

Here is Friday’s injury report for both teams.
