  • Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Minimal production against Ravens

    Palmer caught one of his three targets for 16 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

    Despite taking on a more of a prominent role with teammate Mike Evans (hamstring) exiting early in the first half of the contest, Palmer was unable to deliver a useful line over his 59 snaps. With Evans expected to miss at least three games with his injury and with Chris Godwin suffering what appears to be a season-ending ankle injury at the tail end of Monday's loss, Palmer will likely continue to play plenty of snaps Week 8 versus the Falcons. Fellow receivers Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard should also benefit from increased roles.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: One catch in loss

    Shepard caught his lone target for 15 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

    Shepard was not much of a factor Monday, as his one target was a season low through five games with Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout played 37 of the Buccaneer's 82 offensive snaps and was mostly an afterthought in the passing game. His usage could drastically change going forward, as Chris Godwin (ankle) is likely done for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to miss at least three weeks. Shepard is a candidate to take on a lot of the target share from quarterback Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer also set to handle more work. The 31-year-old Shepard should see a lot of opportunities in a Week 8 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Buccaneers' Yaya Diaby: Registers second sack of season

    Diaby logged five solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Monday's 41-31 loss to Baltimore.

    Diaby got his second sack of the season Monday, taking down Lamar Jackson for an eight-yard loss midway through the first quarter. The 2023 third-round pick has played at least 54 percent of the Bucs' defensive snaps in all seven regular-season games this year, and over that span he has accrued 19 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Leads Bucs with 10 tackles Monday

    Winfield logged 10 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

    In his second game back from a foot injury, Winfield played every single defensive snap Monday. In addition to leading the Buccaneers with 10 tackles, he also managed to log his first sack of the season after taking down Lamar Jackson for a nine-yard loss midway through the first quarter, which forced the Ravens to punt on the next play. Winfield has logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across his last two outings.

  • Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Likely done for season

    Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Tuesday that Godwin will undergo surgery on his dislocated left ankle and will "probably be out for the year," Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Bowles didn't completely close the door on Godwin playing again in 2024, but the wideout would likely need to make a swifter recovery than what is typically associated with a dislocated ankle, and the Buccaneers would also need to make a deep playoff run. After hurting his ankle with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter of Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens, Godwin will be embarking on rehab for the second major injury of his career, as he previously tore the ACL and MCL in his knee in Week 15 of the 2021 season. Before going down with the injury, Godwin was in the midst of a stellar season, having put together a 50-576-5 receiving line on 62 targets through seven games. Godwin is scheduled for free agency this offseason and will turn 29 years old in February.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Coach confirms three-game absence

    Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Tuesday that Evans will likely remain out through the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye due to a "moderate" right hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Tampa Bay isn't placing Evans on injured reserve, with the team seemingly hopeful that he'll be able to avoid a four-game absence and instead miss just three games due to the hamstring injury he aggravated in the first half of Monday's loss to the Ravens. If all goes well in Evans' recovery, the expectation is that he'll be ready to play coming out of the bye week and make his return to the lineup Nov. 24 versus the Giants. Meanwhile, Bowles confirmed that Chris Godwin (ankle) will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, so quarterback Baker Mayfield will be without his top two targets for at least the next three games.

  • Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Likely to miss next three games

    Evans (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for the Buccaneers until after the team's Week 11 bye, JC Allen of SI.com reports.

    Evans aggravated a right hamstring injury in the second quarter of Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens and was sent in for an MRI on Tuesday. The Buccaneers haven't yet provided an update on the results of Evans' imaging, but Allen's report suggests that the team isn't counting on the star wideout suiting up for any of their next three games. The timing of Evans' injury is especially tough for the Buccaneers with fellow wideout Chris Godwin having suffered a dislocated ankle late in Monday's contest that will likely require season-ending surgery. Assuming Evans and Godwin are both sidelined beginning with this Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard could all be primed to see extended snaps. The injuries to Evans and Godwin could also motivate the Buccaneers to trade for another receiver in advance of the Nov. 5 deadline.
