The final injury report of the week was full of good news, with only one Bucs player being completely ruled out. Still looking for their first win at home this season, a healthy team is a great starting point.

Emeka Egbuka is no longer listed as having a concussion, but is still dealing with an injury to his foot. Egbuka did not practice today, and was ruled out for Sunday’s game. The Bucs haven’t leaned into their passing game much this season, so this shouldn’t be a big hit on the offense. Egbuka was also out last week, and the team was able to move the ball down the field using the rest of their receiving core.

Kenny Gainwell and Luke Goedeke were both ruled as questionable for this week. Goedeke did not participate Wednesday or Thursday, and was limited at practice on Friday. His status will be determined closer to game time and if he doesn’t play, Ben Chukwuma will once again be stepping in.

Kenny Gainwell fully participated for the first time this week on Friday. Establishing the run game has been crucial to both wins that the Bucs have collected this season, meaning there’s a strong possibility he will play, especially with the added weight of a divisional game.

In better news, Antoine Winfield Jr. is full-go for the weekend. This will be the safety’s first game since Week 4, when he first got injured. Winfield has not seen the same production this season that has been shown from him in seasons past, but this will be a good opportunity to get back on track.

As far as midseason goes, the Bucs are about as healthy as it gets. The opposing Atlanta Falcons also have one player ruled out, but eight listed as questionable, putting Tampa Bay in a good position to secure a home victory. The last time these two teams saw each other, it was an absolute train wreck, but the Bucs are eager to settle the score.
