The Friday injury report offers little good news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While several Philadelphia Eagles players were upgraded, a couple of starters found themselves added to the list.
Linebacker Devin White (groin) and right guard Cody Mauch (back) were added to the injury list as limited participants at Friday’s practice. There were no changes for defensive tackle Vita Vea (pectoral), who remained limited, or rookies Calijah Kancey (calf) and SirVocea Dennis (hamstring), neither of whom practiced. The only upgrade was safety Ryan Neal (ribs/knee), going from limited to a full participant on Friday.
Meanwhile, four Eagles, all listed as starters, went from limited to full participants at practice. The only Philadelphia players still held out were backups or rotational players, wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) and safety Terrell Edmunds (illness).
Due to playing on Monday night, the Bucs will release one more injury report on Saturday. Most likely, Kancey and Dennis will miss Week 3, but it could come down to the wire with the rest of the injured Bucs. This is the second time Mauch has appeared on the injury report with back issues. He first popped on the list before Week 1 and missed Tampa Bay’s season opener. A return to the injury report for the same issue does not bode well for Mauch’s week-to-week health this season.
