The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had two weeks with virtually no players out, but fortune like that doesn’t last long in the NFL.
The Bucs will have two players out when they face off against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. Guard Matt Feiler is out with a knee injury and is set to be replaced by Aaron Stinnie, while special teams player and safety Kaevon Merriweather is out with an ankle injury. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee), wideout Chris Godwin (neck) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (groin) are listed as questionable, but Mayfield and Godwin are almost certainly playing — Vea, who has missed three straight practices, is probably doubtful to play given his lack of participation.
Here is Tampa Bay’s full injury report. As a reminder, all three practices were walkthroughs and designations are just an estimation:
On Buffalo’s side, tight ends Dawson Knox (wrist) and Quintin Morris (ankle) are out, so it will be Dalton Kincaid as Buffalo’s TE1. Linebacker Baylon Spector is out with a hamstring injury and defensive tackle Ed Oliver is questionable with a toe injury.
