  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Lengthy absence ahead

    Head coach Todd Bowles stated Monday that Winfield will miss several weeks after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Winfield was set to undergo an MRI on Monday, but it's unclear if this diagnosis came before or after the imaging. Any extended absence for the veteran safety would be a significant blow to Tampa Bay's secondary during the final stretch of the season, as they work to try and win their division and secure a playoff spot.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Dealing with back tightness

    Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (back) had his back tighten up during Sunday's 28-13 win against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Bowles said Irving's availability Week 15 against the Chargers will depend on whether his back loosens up in time for the road matchup. In the event that Irving isn't able to get right in time to suit up in Los Angeles, Rachaad White will be positioned to lead Tampa Bay's backfield, with Sean Tucker handling the No. 2 role.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Two touchdowns in Week 14 win

    McMillan brought in four of seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    McMillan hadn't found the end zone since recording a 32-yard touchdown on his first career catch back in Week 1 against the Commanders, but he made up for some lost time Sunday with 15- and 29-yard scoring grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. The second-year wideout's catch total also tied his career high, while his yardage tally was a new high-water mark for the rookie third-round pick. McMillan's surge was a welcome sight considering how little production the Buccaneers have gotten from the No. 2 receiver position since Chris Godwin was lost for the season with an ankle dislocation, and he'll look to put together a successful encore in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Team-high yardage total Sunday

    Otton brought in three of four targets for 70 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    The third-year tight end finished with a team-high receiving yardage figure and ranked second in receptions as well. The highlight of Otton's afternoon was a 44-yard reception in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Buccaneers' final touchdown of the game, and Sunday marked his most productive showing since a Week 9, 77-yard effort against the Chiefs. Otton should continue to be an integral part of the Buccaneers' shorthanded passing attack in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Left early Sunday as precaution

    Irving (back) didn't return to Sunday's 28-13 win against the Raiders as a precaution, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Irving tended to hip and back injuries during Week 14 prep, and even though he suited up Sunday, he ultimately hit the sidelines for good late in the first half due to the latter concern, finishing the contest with four carries for three yards and one catch (on one target) for 15 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White had 17 rushes for 90 yards and one touchdown and two receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards and another TD, and Sean Tucker racked up 47 yards on three carries. Irving's status will be one to monitor this week as the Buccaneers prepare for next Sunday's visit to the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Undergoing MRI on Monday

    Winfield will undergo an MRI on the knee he injured during Sunday's 28-13 win over the Raiders, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    The MRI will provide clarity on Winfield's status for the tail end of the 2024 regular season, starting with Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. The Buccaneers are dealing with several injuries in the secondary including Josh Hayes (hamstring), Bryce Hall (ankle), Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Jordan Whitehead (pectoral). Kaevon Merriweather -- who tied Lavonte David for a team-high seven tackles Monday -- would be the next man up at free safety if Winfield were to miss time.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Four catches in win

    Evans secured four of five targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Evans tied Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards. The veteran wideout got a big chunk of his production on a 32-yard grab, which was the second longest of the game for the Buccaneers. Evans has eclipsed 60 receiving yards in three straight games heading into a Week 15 road battle against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Impressive after Irving exit

    White rushed 17 times for 90 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for 19 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    White's backfield mate Bucky Irving exited the game for good in the first half with a back injury, and White was able to take advantage with a season-high rushing yardage total. The game marked the third-year pro's second straight efficient effort, as he'd also recorded 76 yards on 11 carries, albeit with the help of a big run in overtime, in a Week 13 win over the Panthers. White added his third rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter, a score preceded by a five-yard TD grab in the opening period. White's fantasy prospects are on an upswing irrespective of Irving's status going into a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Perseveres through picks in win

    Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 295 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Mayfield ultimately finished with an impressive yardage and touchdown total, but his road to those numbers was rocky at times. The veteran signal-caller took four sacks from an aggressive Raiders defense and tossed a pair of first-half interceptions following a fast start. Prior to the miscues, Mayfield had capped off the Buccaneers' first two drives with touchdown passes to Jalen McMillan (15 yards) and Rachaad White (five yards). He also came on late after Tampa Bay's first two second-half drives ended in punts, capping off a five-play game-sealing drive with a 29-yard scoring strike to McMillan. Mayfield does have four interceptions over his last two games, but he's also tossed four touchdowns in that span going into a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Exits game Sunday

    Miller is being evaluated for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Miller exited the game in the fourth quarter and is now questionable to return. If he ends up being unable to return, Rakim Jarrett could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Won't return Sunday vs. Vegas

    Winfield (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Winfield injured his knee in the first half of Sunday's game and will not return. Kaevon Merriweather will likely take over at free safety for the rest of the contest due to Winfield's injury.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Injures back Sunday

    Irving suffered a back injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Irving tended to hip and back issues during Week 14 prep, and the latter seemingly has been aggravated, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. If he's unable to return, Irving will finish Sunday's contest with four carries for three yards and one catch (on one target) for 15 yards. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the healthy RBs on the Buccaneers' active roster.

  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Questionable to return

    Winfield is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Raiders due to a knee injury.

    Winfield had not recorded any statistics prior to exiting the game. If he is ultimately unable to return, Kaevon Merriweather is the likely candidate to fill in at free safety.

  • Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Suiting up against Las Vegas

    Smith (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Smith will return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. The rookie third-rounder logged 42 tackles (30 solo), five pass defenses (including one interception) and three forced fumbles in the eight regular-season games before his injury. Smith is expected to slide back into his role at slot corner.

  • Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Will play Sunday vs. Vegas

    Palmer (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Palmer was questionable to play Sunday due to a hip injury that limited him in practice Thursday and Friday. However, the 2023 sixth-round pick has done enough over the weekend to be cleared to play, and he will continue to serve in a depth role at wide receiver behind Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Palmer has logged 10 catches (on 18 targets) for 141 yards and one touchdown across 10 regular-season games.
