The Bucs had a bonus apply day on Wednesday due to their playoff recreation on Monday night time, so Thursday was the primary day this week that all of us obtained an harm report. Follow was a walkthrough, which has been customary for the Bucs within the later half of the season, so there wasn’t as a lot data to collect.
It wasn’t till the harm report got here out that we may put collectively the items, beginning with Baker Mayfield. Very similar to the Bucs went about it final week, Mayfield wouldn’t have participated if the Bucs had been a full go. This week, Mayfield has the rib harm to take care of and ankle harm on high of it.
“He wouldn’t have practiced at present,” head coach Todd Bowles mentioned. “Hopefully we’ll see him tomorrow.”
Bowles then mentioned how a lot the sport plan must regulate due to Mayfield’s points.
“It’s a effective line,” Bowles mentioned. “I don’t assume it impacts Dave [Canales] so far as calling the sport. I believe Thad [Lewis] does an excellent job ensuring he will get the performs he must get for us to win, versus calling performs simply to guard him. We’re making an attempt to win the ballgame is the No. 1 factor, and Baker will inform you that. When he’s on the market, I don’t assume it impacts him.”
The opposite concern for Bucs followers must be left deal with Tristan Wirfs. He didn’t apply with an sickness. Bowles admitted final week that he himself had a chilly, so possibly Wirfs caught it. Wirfs additionally didn’t apply early final week due to a shoulder harm, so he’s one other benefitting from an additional day earlier than the sport.
Rounding out the listing of gamers that didn’t take part was inside linebacker Ok.J. Britt, who missed final week’s recreation. Some excellent news was that particular teamer and defensive again Josh Hayes was restricted in apply along with his quad/knee harm whereas Mike Greene (calf) practiced in full as he’s nonetheless within the 21-day window to be activated.
Mayfield and Wirfs particularly shall be paid numerous consideration for the following apply.
