Here is the first injury report of the 2016 season. It’s the Wednesday report for the Buccaneers’ game against the Falcons.

We know that Buccaneers‘ football is here when the injury reports start to come out. That means practice is in full swing, and regular season football is almost upon us. Isn’t it great? Each week throughout the season we will present the injury report and talk about how it might relate to the game.

Let’s get right to it, first for the Bucs:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Devante Bond	59	LB	Hamstring	Limited Participation
Ryan Smith	29	S	Hand	Full Participation
Luke Stocker	88	TE	Back	Did Not Participate

Nothing really major to see here. The staff was happy with Ryan Smith during training camp, so it’s good to see that whatever is bothering his hand allows him to practice in full. It seems like it’s every man up for your Bucs.

Now here is the report for the home team, the Atlanta Falcons:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Adrian Clayborn	99	DE	Shoulder	Limited Participation
Dwight Freeney	93	DE	Not Injury Related	Did Not Participate
Kemal Ishmael	36	S	Shoulder	Limited Participation
Julio Jones	11	WR	Ankle	Limited Participation
Keanu Neal	22	S	Knee	Did Not Participate
Robenson Therezie	27	S	Thumb	Full Participation
Terron Ward	28	RB	Ankle	Limited Participation

Now that is interesting. Did anyone expect to see good old Julio on there? Now that would be fun if somehow he didn’t play, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, the outlook at this point is that he will be a full go come Sunday afternoon. We aren’t getting off that easily. We will monitor the situation all week long in case something changes, but don’t get too excited yet.

So far so good for the Bucs, as it appears that the whole cast of characters will be ready to go on opening day.
