Overview
- Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, with local reporting Thursday noting both were again absent alongside Haason Reddick.
- Official Wednesday injury reports listed Godwin (fibula) and Irving (foot, shoulder) as non-participants for Tampa Bay and Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) as non-participants for New England.
- Tampa Bay remains without Mike Evans due to a fractured clavicle sustained on Oct. 20, further thinning the offense ahead of Sunday.
- The Buccaneers are expected to lean on players such as Emeka Egbuka in the passing game and Rachaad White and Sean Tucker in the backfield if starters remain out, while New England could turn to rookie Kyle Williams at receiver and TreVeyon Henderson at running back if needed.
- Final availability will be determined on the teams’ end-of-week injury reports and the 90-minute pregame window before Sunday’s kickoff at Raymond James Stadium.
