Top Buccaneers News

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Good to go Sunday

    Tucker (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Tucker practiced in full all week and should be fine for his RB3 role in the Tampa Bay backfield. Rachaad White dealt with a groin issue earlier in the preseason but wasn't even listed on the injury report this week and has been practicing without limitations for the last couple weeks, leaving Tucker behind both Bucky Irving and White to open the season. Tucker would likely need an injury to one of the two in order to find his way into meaningful playing time and touches.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Questionable after full practice

    Vea (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after logging a full practice Friday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Vea returned to practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, and his ability to participate without limitations bodes well for the defensive tackle's availability come Sunday, though he didn't avoid an injury designation entirely. A final determination on Vea's status should come around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Atlanta.

  • Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: NFL debut on hold

    Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that Morrison (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Morrison was limited all week in practice due to a quadriceps injury, and it now appears he won't play through the issue in Week 1. The 2025 second-round pick's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come in the Buccaneers' Week 2 matchup in Houston, likely serving as one of Tampa Bay's top rotational cornerbacks if healthy.

  • Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Won't play in Week 1

    Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that Wirfs (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The star left tackle is still recovering from arthroscopic right knee surgery and was expected to miss the first handful of games this season, so Bowles' comments Friday come as no surprise. Charlie Heck is expected to step in and start at left tackle while Wirfs remains sidelined.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Lands $48M extension

    The Bucs signed McCollum to a three-year, $48 million contract extension Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The deal contains $35.4 million guaranteed and has McCollum under contract through the 2028 campaign. The 26-year-old was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal after starting all 17 regular-season games last season, a year in which he recorded 82 tackles (55 solo), 17 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. McCollum is penned in as a starting cornerback opposite Jamel Dean in Tampa Bay.

  • Buccaneers' Christian Izien: Ruled out for season opener

    Izien (oblique) won't play against the Falcons on Sunday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Izien hasn't practiced all week and was ruled out by coach Todd Bowles on Friday. The safety's next chance to suit up will come against the Texans in Week 2 on Monday Night Football.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Spotted at practice Friday

    Vea (foot) returned to practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Vea didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was in attendance Friday. Head coach Todd Bowles said Vea is "trending in the right direction" regarding the defensive tackle's potential availability for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site. Vea's practice participation level will be clarified on Friday's injury report, which will also reveal whether he carries an injury designation into Tampa Bay's Week 1 contest.

  • Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Officially ruled out

    Godwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Godwin didn't practice this week and seems highly unlikely to play Week 2. Auman and other reporters have said that Godwin is on the active roster so he can practice with teammates later this month, not because the Buccaneers expect him to play in games before October. Neither team nor player have been willing to say as much, with the official word for now simply being that Godwin remains absent from practice and won't play Week 1.

  • Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: Limited again Thursday

    Morrison (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Morrison continues to work through a quadriceps injury that has limited his participation in each of the first two practices of the week. A full practice Friday would allow the rookie second-rounder to fade an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons, but even a limited session would give him a good chance at making his NFL regular-season debut. Morrison is expected to serve in a rotational role at corner with Jamel Dean, Zyon McCollum and Jacob Parrish.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Vea (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Vea has missed the first two practices of the week while working through a foot injury. Friday is the last chance for Vea to practice, but participating even in a limited capacity would put him in good shape to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Atlanta. Greg Gaines would be slated to see more snaps with the first-team defense alongside Logan Hall and Calijah Kancey if Vea is not cleared to play.

  • Buccaneers' Christian Izien: Misses Thursday's practice

    Izien (oblique) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Izien has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to an oblique strain that he suffered during the preseason. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons in Atlanta. Kaevon Merriweather would be poised to see more rotational snaps at safety alongside starters Tykee Smith and Antoine Winfield if Izien is not cleared to play.

  • Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Gets back to full Thursday

    Otton (groin) practiced in full Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Following Wednesday's capped session with what officially was termed a groin injury, Otton was able to handle every practice rep one day later, setting him up to serve his usual function as the Buccaneers' No. 1 TE on Sunday in Atlanta. In two games against the Falcons last season, he combined for 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 125 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Another absence from practice

    Godwin (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Godwin has begun the 2025 campaign with back-to-back DNPs, seemingly implying that he's trending toward an absence Sunday in Atlanta. He's in the later stages of his recovery from the dislocated left ankle that he suffered Week 7 of last season, but by avoiding the reserve/PUP list last week, he's been given a chance to be available at some point in the first month of the season. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not the Buccaneers rule him out for Week 1 action, but rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka is poised to be top WR Mike Evans' running mate for as long as Godwin is sidelined.
