Bucs have one former Broncos player, but he won’t suit up in Week 3

Bucs running back Chase Edmonds won’t be available for Sunday’s game against the Broncos as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

The Denver Broncos are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on Sunday.

The Bucs have one former Broncos player on their squad — running back Chase Edmonds — but he won’t suit up for Sunday’s game at Raymond James Stadium.

Edmonds, 28, was placed on Tampa Bay’s season-ending injured reserve list with a knee injury in August, so he’s not eligible to play this week.

Denver acquired Edmonds from the Miami Dolphins as part of the Bradley Chubb trade mid-way through the 2022 season. Edmonds appeared in five games for the Broncos that year, rushing 26 times for 125 yards while adding six receptions for 61 yards.

Edmonds’ contract with Denver expired in 2023 and he then signed with the Buccaneers. He rushed 49 times for 176 yards and hauled in 14 receptions for 81 yards in 13 games with Tampa Bay last fall.

The Bucs’ running backs going into Sunday’s game against the Broncos are Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker.
