Turns out the Buccaneers will be without Adam Humphries on Sunday. Here is the rest of the final injury report.

More from The Pewter Plank

If the Buccaneers are going to keep this winning streak alive, they are going to have to do it without Adam Humphries. Although he practiced in full on Friday, coach Dirk Koetter has listed him as out for Sunday’s game.

Josh Huff already has been added to the roster, and don’t be surprised if we see Donteea Dye promoted as well, thanks to the depth problems at wide receiver.

It appears that Sunday will mark the return of Charles Sims, which is welcome news for a running attack that has lacked the expected luster. A three-way tandem of Doug Martin, Sims, and Jacquizz Rodgers could prove to be a very formidable group on Sunday and beyond.

Let’s get to the final injury report, first for the Bucs:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Game Status
Chris Conte	23	S	Chest	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Demar Dotson	69	T	Concussion	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Adam Humphries	11	WR	Concussion	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Out
Luke Stocker	88	TE	Ankle	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Gerald McCoy	93	DT	Foot	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Questionable
Evan Smith	62	C	Knee	Limited Participation	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Questionable
Alterraun Verner	21	CB	Not Injury Related	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Full Participation	–

The best news out of that group is that McCoy returned to practice. It sounds like the big guy might just be around when the Bucs take the field against the Saints.

With Dotson out, Gosder Cherilus will start in his place.

Now we have the report for the Saints:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Game Status
Terron Armstead	72	T	Knee/Quadriceps	Limited Participation	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Questionable
Mark Ingram	22	RB	Toe/Knee	Limited Participation	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Questionable

Max Unger	60	C	Foot	Limited Participation	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Questionable
Josh Hill	89	TE	Fibula	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	–	–

The lethal Michael Thomas did return to practice, albeit on a limited basis. We can still hope that he is not ready to suit up come Sunday. I’m sure, however, he will do all he can to be ready for a big divisional matchup.

RayJay should be pumping on Sunday.
