Luke Goedeke - Deemed questionable for Sunday Goedeke (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Atlanta.

Impact Goedeke is dealing with a calf injury that caused him to miss last Sunday's win over the Panthers. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday this week but was able to log a limited session Friday to give himself a chance of suiting up Sunday. If Goedeke remains out, however, Benjamin Chukwuma would like draw another start at right tackle.

Kenny Gainwell - Questionable for Week 8 Gainwell (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Gainwell progressed to a full practice Friday after starting the week DNP on Wednesday, but the full work wasn't enough to have the running back head into the weekend without an injury designation. Bucky Irving would be in line for even more receiving snaps and pass routes if Gainwell is unable to face Atlanta.

Kenny Gainwell - Upgrades to full practice Gainwell (hip) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Gainwell has gone DNP-limited-full this week in practice, so he should be in line to handle his normal role for a handful of touches Sunday against the Falcons. Gainwell hasn't even come close to producing the same statistical numbers he did last season in Pittsburgh, as he's been firmly planted behind Bucky Irving on the depth chart for Tampa Bay. Gainwell can be dropped in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Emeka Egbuka - Ruled out for Week 8 Egbuka (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Bucs' official site reports.

Impact With the concussion no longer the issue, Egbuka's availability is now being dictated by his foot injury. His absence will force Tez Johnson and Ted Hurst into more snaps and targets alongside veteran slot man Chris Godwin. Egbuka's next chance to play will be Week 9 against the Bears. The Bucs then have their bye the following week.

Emeka Egbuka - Sits out Friday's practice Egbuka (concussion/foot) was not practicing Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After logging a limited practice Thursday, Egbuka's absence Friday represents a step back in his concussion recovery ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. He's also still dealing with his previous foot injury. If Egbuka can't play Sunday against the Falcons, Tez Johnson and rookie Ted Hurst would be in line for increased snaps alongside veteran Chris Godwin at receiver.

Luke Goedeke - Misses another practice Goedeke (calf) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Impact Goedeke has missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to nurse a calf injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 7 win over the Panthers. The 27-year-old appears to be on track to be unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, and if that's the case, Benjamin Chukwuma would likely stand to draw another start at right tackle.

Josiah Trotter - Full practice Thursday Trotter (illness) was a full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Impact Trotter opened the week as a non-participant Wednesday due to an illness, but he now appears to be good to go ahead of Week 8. The linebacker has recorded double-digit stops in back-to-back weeks, registering 22 total tackles (eight solo) and two passes defensed in those contests.

Emeka Egbuka - Limited participant Thursday Egbuka (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Though Egbuka was limited again, he shed the non-contact jersey and worked in a normal practice jersey Thursday. He was still dialed back enough to be listed as limited, but he seems to be making progress as Sunday approaches. Egbuka is working back from a concussion and a foot injury.

Kenny Gainwell - Limited at practice Thursday Gainwell (hip) was a limited participant as Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Gainwell returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday's session, but he still faced some limitations Thursday. He'll have one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation Friday, and if Gainwell is able to do so, he would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Bucky Irving remains atop Tampa Bay's depth chart at running back, followed by Gainwell and Sean Tucker.

Kenny Gainwell - Spotted at practice Thursday Gainwell (hip) returned to practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Gainwell's participation level remains to be seen, but he has taken a step in the right direction after sitting out Wednesday's practice. The change-of-pace running back is coming off his heaviest workload of the season, as Gainwell handled 14 touches in the run-heavy Week 7 win over the Panthers after touching the ball no more than seven times in any of his first six games with the Buccaneers. Even if healthy, Gainwell is expected to cede the majority of backfield opportunities to Bucky Irving against the Falcons on Sunday, and Sean Tucker is also a candidate for usage.

Emeka Egbuka - Practicing in regular jersey Egbuka (concussion/foot) is wearing a regular jersey at Thursday's practice, suggesting he has been cleared for contact, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Egbuka was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and it remains to be seen whether he can upgrade to full participation Thursday, but he looks to be trending in the right direction on his quest to clear concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons. The 2025 first-round pick sat out Tampa Bay's Week 7 win over the Panthers, so if Egbuka returns to action Sunday, he would be catching passes from Baker Mayfield in a game for the first time since Week 3.
