Bucs vs. Panthers injury report: 5 players miss practice for Tampa Bay

Check out the initial injury report for Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers have released their initial injury reports for Sunday’s game, and there are plenty of noticeable names on both sides who missed practice Wednesday.

For the Bucs, that list is once again headlined by wide receiver Julio Jones (knee), defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (foot), and tight end Cameron Brate (neck).

Right guard Shaq Mason (ankle) also missed Wednesday’s practice, which doesn’t bod well for Tampa Bay’s struggling offensive interior. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad) didn’t participate in practice Wednesday, either.

The Panthers had a long list of non-participants Wednesday, as well, including a pair of starting cornerbacks. Running back Christian McCaffrey was given the day off to rest.
