Overview
- Justin Fields is out with a concussion and Tyrod Taylor starts for the Jets against the Buccaneers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX in Tampa.
- Tampa Bay will be without several starters, including DT Calijah Kancey (season-ending), RT Luke Goedeke and G Cody Mauch (IR), LT Tristan Wirfs and WR Chris Godwin.
- Rookie WR Emeka Egbuka is expected to play after a limited Friday practice and enters with three touchdown catches in two games.
- New York also ruled out edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, DT Jay Tufele, WR Josh Reynolds and RB/KR Kene Nwangwu.
- Sportsbooks and projection models favor the Buccaneers by about seven points, with previews pointing to a heavier Tampa Bay run game and a Jets pass-rush plan versus a patchwork Bucs offensive line.
