The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for their Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos, but there’s a chance they could be without a few key starters.
The Bucs communications team released their injury report following Wednesday’s practice, with prominent players either not participating or limited. The Bucs’ secondary injuries began in Week 1 and are still an issue. Starting cornerback Jamel Dean was limited with a knee injury, while safety Antoine Winfield Jr did not practice with his lingering foot injury, which he suffered late in their victory over the Washington Commanders.
Vita Vea was ruled out last week with a knee injury, and it’s not looking good once again, as he didn’t practice either. Sticking with the defensive line, Calijah Kancey missed the first two games with a calf injury, and he still hasn’t been able to participate in practice.
Moving over to the offense, starting tackle Luke Goedeke didn’t participate in practice due to a concussion, and Rachaad White was limited with a groin injury. If White can’t go or is limited to a snap count on Sunday, there’s a possibility rookie Bucky Irving could be in line for a heavy workload.
