The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a fully healthy squad in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that may not be the case in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.
Tampa Bay has held what most refer to as a “Walkthrough Wednesday” for a few weeks now, so the team doesn’t actually practice at full speed. As a result, the reports for Wednesdays are typically estimations, but they can do a good job at revealing which players are dealing with certain injuries. In this case, the Bucs have three injuries to contend with — cornerback Carlton Davis has a concussion, edge rusher Shaquil Barrett has a groin injury and tight end Ko Kieft is dealing with a shoulder injury. The other two players on the report in wideout Rakim Jarrett and Mike Greene are both in their 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve.

Meanwhile, the Saints also had three players designated as non-participants, but one (tight end Jimmy Graham) was due to rest. The big name to watch is tackle Ryan Ramczyk, who has been dealing with a knee injury for a bit and did not play against the Rams in Los Angeles in Week 16.
