Neither is even on the final injury report.

Final injury report for Bucs and Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday.

0120

Bucs have a little more injury concern than expected, as Todd Bowles says RB Sean Tucker and WR Jalen McMillan are doubtful for Sunday’s opener at the Bengals.

Greg Auman @gregauman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Bucs look to be healthy for Sunday’s opener at the Bengals - RB Sean Tucker practiced for second day in a row, and WRs Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan look full go as well.

063

Drake Maye threw three INTs last night for the Patriots, and Tom Brady once threw four in a Week 1 game in 2003. But the gold standard for Patriots QBs throwing picks in Week 1 is still Babe Parilli, who had five in 1965 and six in 1967.

First injury report for Bucs and Bengals, with Sean Tucker dealing with a hamstring injury.

Greg Auman @gregauman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Bucs open the 2026 season fairly healthy -- first practice ahead of Bengals game on Sunday had just RB Sean Tucker held out. Bowles already said he's a game-time decision, so doesn't bode well there. Egbuka, McMillan, Bain all seem to be practicing as normal.

Just days before their opener, Bucs work out a new extension for Baker Mayfield, paying him $165 million over three years. First Vea, now Mayfield to resolve all the summer drama.

And five if you think about how little Kancey played last year.

Bucs have released their Week 1 depth chart, and rookie Josiah Trotter is now listed as a starting linebacker.

Encouraging steps on injury front for the Bucs -- Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee) and Christian Rozeboom (foot) all practiced today. Still no Sean Tucker.

Not often you get claimed by an NFL team on another continent, but OLB Khalid Kareem is headed to Australia after the 49ers signed him off the Falcons’ practice squad.

Hey. Sorry to be off here so long. Will be better about posting here.

Bowles isn't saying publicly how Godwin's doing, but he certainly knows how Godwin is doing. He sees him every day, talks to the trainers who are working with him. He just doesn't want to say anything publicly.

After winning the division in each of the past 4 seasons, the Bucs have everything they need to hang another NFC South banner in 2025. From my conversation with @gregauman.bsky.social on "Best Podcast Available" for @athlonsports.bsky.social: athlonsports.com/nfl/tampa-ba...

The Bucs Own the NFC South, and They're Primed to Win it Again in 2025

After four straight division titles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have everything they need to hang yet another NFC South banner this season.

Hey! I’ll certainly try to remember.

Just to be clear: Bucs didn’t sign Samaje Perine. I think the Bredeson contract went into NFLPA database and someone misread it as Perine. No signing.

3283

Really would be surprised if they spent that much, but we'll see.

I forget we're in the heart of "worth as much as" season.

0110

They have a lot of cap space, and were missing out on most of their top targets.

Unless that's a fourth year, I'd be surprised if a team offered $20 million more.

$11m should be near the top of the league for backup QBs.

Top 10 2025 NFL free-agent RBs: Did Saquon, Henry change the market?

When we ranked the top 10 free agent running backs for this class, we had Elijah Mitchell at No. 10, even though he didn't play in 2024. Smart under-the-radar signing for Chiefs. www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/...

Is the NFL running back making a comeback? Here are the 10 best backs available in free agency, and 10 more to keep an eye on.

We'll get an update on Chris Godwin's recovery timeline when he's introduced on the new contract, but the Bucs guaranteed two years of salary without knowing if he'll be healthy and ready to play at the start of the 2025 season.

Cool, yes, but not a huge part of it.

It's worth mentioning that Bucs OLBs coach Larry Foote had Haason Reddick as a Cardinals assistant in 2017-18. Bruce Arians was his head coach in 2017, but I don't think that's as key a connection in the Bucs' signing.

161

We had new Bucs OLB Haason Reddick at No. 21 in our @nflonfox.bsky.social top 100 free agents -- here's what we said:

0100

Bears' offensive line upgrade continues, while Atlanta loses its top free agent in the first hour of negotiating window.

040

What's key in the Bucs' deal with Chris Godwin is guaranteeing two years of salary. The total dollar value is about what we expected -- slightly more than his last deal ($60 million for three years) and slightly more than Mike Evans just got on a per-year basis.

2110

I can confirm Haason Reddick to the Bucs on a one-year deal. Two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher gives Tampa Bay a much-needed boost to their defensive front opposite YaYa Diaby.

2151

Huge start to free agency for Bucs, who are able to keep Chris Godwin on a new deal.

5203

More on Haason Reddick, reportedly headed to the Bucs on a one-year, $14 million deal: he's 30, had four straight 10-sack seasons from 2020-23, had a lost year in 2024 after holding out with Jets. Bucs hope to get his 2022: 16 sacks, five forced fumbles as Eagles went to the Super Bowl.

Bucs make a splash and get a top-tier edge rusher …

Ok, folks. It’s noon. Off we go …

Certainly a chance. Those aren’t easy to come by. Curious to see where they focus their outside signings.

Hard to know. I think they’ve talked with his people, but they might want to see what the open market looks like today.
