Time for the second injury report of the week for the second matchup between the Buccaneers and the Saints.

More from The Pewter Plank

If we want to make our dreams of a Buccaneers playoff spot happen, we need to get back on the winning track quickly. They need to win out and get help. The Bucs sit at 8-6, edged out for the final playoff spot by the Packers due to tiebreakers. So, the Bucs need to get to ten wins and hope for some losses.

It starts this Saturday in New Orleans.

Drew Brees was among the Pro Bowl snubs, and Brandin Cooks was not happy about it, calling it “ridiculous”. He and the rest of the Saints offense will be looking to show the world how good they really are on Saturday afternoon in the dome. The Bucs have work to do.

With that, let’s get to the injuries. Our team up first:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday
Robert Ayers	91	DE	Illness	Did Not Participate	Full Participation
Gosder Cherilus	78	T	Groin/Ankle	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate
Demar Dotson	69	T	Concussion	Limited Participation	Did Not Participate
William Gholston	92	DE	Elbow	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate
Gerald McCoy	93	DT	Foot	Full Participation	Full Participation

Thankfully, Robert Ayers got over his illness and was back at practice. Both Dotson and Cherilus did not practice, and at this rate, Leonard Wester will likely be the guy at right tackle. Dotson is still in concussion protocol.

Let’s move right along to the Saints:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday
Delvin Breaux	40	CB	Shoulder	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate
Dannell Ellerbe	59	LB	Foot	Limited Participation	Limited Participation
John Kuhn	29	FB	Hip	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation
Craig Robertson	52	LB	Shoulder	Limited Participation	Limited Participation
Max Unger	60	C	Foot	Limited Participation	Limited Participation

Not a big list. Kuhn got back to work. We shall see if Unger is available to block for Brees and company.

Final report tomorrow as always.
