Overview

  • Wednesday’s reports listed Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) and WR Chris Godwin (fibula) as non-participants after multiple games out since Weeks 4 and 5.
  • Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said both are progressing in rehab and running, but noted Irving has not been cleared for shoulder contact.
  • Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) did not practice, leaving their Week 10 status uncertain.
  • Other DNPs included Bucs OLB Haason Reddick and Patriots C Garrett Bradbury, LB Christian Elliss and DT Joshua Farmer, according to the first injury reports.
  • If key players remain out, Tampa Bay would keep leaning on rookie WR Emeka Egbuka and depth pieces, while New England could turn to rookie WR Kyle Williams and RB TreVeyon Henderson.
