Bucs Rookie Emeka Egbuka Questionable for Week 3 After Hot Start

His status takes on added weight with Chris Godwin ruled out.

Overview

  • Egbuka returned to practice Friday after missing Wednesday and is officially listed as questionable with a hip and groin injury, per Tom Pelissero.
  • Through two games, the first-round pick has 96 receiving yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner in his debut against the Falcons.
  • Coaches and team reports credit his refined route-running, preparation, and poise for his rapid rise in Tampa Bay’s offense.
  • Baker Mayfield is set to play despite foot and toe listings, while the line remains thin with Tristan Wirfs out, Luke Goedeke sidelined, and Cody Mauch needing season-ending knee surgery.
  • Egbuka has expressed interest in coaching after his playing career, highlighting his film study and passion for teaching the game.
