Won't play against Minnesota Bain (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Bain was a DNP in all three practices during Week 3 prep due to a groin injury that he presumably picked up in Week 2 against the Browns. The rookie first-rounder has only one solo tackle through two regular-season games but has played at least 35 defensive snaps in each of those contests, and those reps will be absorbed Al-Quadin Muhammad, Anthony Nelson and David Walker. Bain's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Cleared to make NFL debut Bain (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's regular-season opener against Cincinnati.

Impact Bain, whom the Buccaneers selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, opened Week 1 prep as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. However, he practiced without restrictions Thursday and Friday, which was enough for him to shed the injury designation and make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. Bain and Yaya Diaby are projected to be the Buccaneers' starting edge rushers, with Al-Quadin Muhammad, Anthony Nelson and David Walker all working in rotation.

Practices in limited capacity Bain (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Bain was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain on Aug. 26. The first-round rookie's absence from the start of the regular season would be a huge blow to the Tampa Bay defense.
