Ko Kieft - Limited with ankle issue Kieft (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Kieft was able to play through his ankle injury in the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Eagles, tallying 22 total snaps (three offensive and 19 on special teams) without recording a stat. The third-year tight end is still expected to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Falcons unless his participation is downgraded either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Vita Vea - Estimated as limited Vea (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Vea returned to the field in Week 4 after missing the Buccaneers' Week 3 loss to the Broncos, posting three total tackles across 38 defensive snaps. The 2018 first-round pick will likely still suit up for Tampa Bay's divisional matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night unless his participation downgrades Tuesday or Wednesday.

Antoine Winfield Jr. - DNP on Monday's estimation Winfield (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Tampa Bay's short week doesn't benefit Winfield, who's missed the Buccaneers' last three games with a foot injury. The All-Pro safety will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up in Week 5. If Winfield is held out for the fourth consecutive contest, expect Christian Izien to see more work as the team's top free safety.

Calijah Kancey - Estimated as DNP Kancey (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury estimation.

Impact Kancey has missed the Buccaneers' first four contests due to this calf issue, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up Thursday night. If Kancey is unable to suit up again in Week 5, expect C.J. Brewer to see additional work on the Buccaneers' defensive line.

Mike Evans - Misses practice Monday Evans (knee/calf) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

Impact The Buccaneers are only hosting a walk-through practice Monday, per Scott Smith of the team's official site, but it's nonetheless notable to see 'DNP' next to Evans' name. The veteran wideout is dealing with knee and calf injuries, though it's possible that Tampa Bay is simply capping his practice reps with a short week of rest on deck prior to Thursday's key divisional matchup against the Falcons. Evans logged his best game of the 2024 season during the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday, in which he secured eight of 14 targets for 94 yards and one touchdown while playing 78 percent of offensive snaps.

SirVocea Dennis - May have significant injury Head coach Todd Bowles stated Monday that Dennis hurt his shoulder "pretty bad" in Sunday's win over the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Dennis exited in the second quarter of the Week 4 matchup and was unable to return to the game. It's not clear that he will, but likely safe to assume the second-year pro will undergo some imaging to diagnose the injury. With the Buccaneers on a short week and traveling to Atlanta for a Thursday matchup, Dennis may be closer to doubtful than questionable, but more details won't be known until the team releases its first injury report for the week.

Rachaad White - Most efficient rushing effort yet White rushed 10 times for 49 yards and brought in two of three targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact White enjoyed his most efficient rushing day of the season by far, matching Bucky Irving in both carries and yards on the afternoon. White was also the most productive of the two via the air, and his yardage total in that department was his second highest through four games. Given Irving has outpaced White in carries by a 19-16 margin over the last two games, it remains to be seen who might be the leader of the ground attack in a Week 5 road matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.

Bucky Irving - Continues impressing in Week 4 win Irving rushed 10 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Irving and backfield mate Rachaad White curiously finished with an identical rushing line, with the key exception that Irving was the only one of the two to find the end zone. The rookie recorded his first NFL touchdown on a one-yard scoring run just past the midway point of the third quarter, and he continued to display a welcome knack for efficiency. Sunday's rushing workload marked a new high for Irving as well, and it will be interesting to see how the ground-game hierarchy shakes out in a Week 5 road battle against the Falcons on Thursday night.

Chris Godwin - Six catches in big win Godwin secured six of nine targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Godwin was either tied for second or the sole runner-up across the board to Mike Evans in terms of his receiving line. Godwin has no fewer than six receptions or eight targets in any of his first four games, although Sunday did see his season-opening three-game touchdown streak come to an end. The Penn State product heads into a Week 4 road divisional clash against the Falcons with a rock-solid fantasy floor and appears to be a seamless fit in new coordinator Liam Coen's offense.

Mike Evans - Paces pass catchers in win Evans secured eight of 14 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Evans led the Buccaneers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets with totals that also were season highs. He also recorded his third touchdown of the campaign on a two-yard grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest, making it his best all-around game in new coordinator Liam Coen's offense. Evans next faces a familiar foe in the Falcons during a Week 5 road divisional matchup on Thursday night.

Baker Mayfield - Another pristine effort in win Mayfield completed 30 of 47 passes for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the...

Impact Mayfield's numbers tell the tale of yet another highly efficient afternoon for the veteran in coordinator Liam Coen's offense, and the 2018 first overall pick was especially surgical during a first half when the Buccaneers racked up 24 first-half points. Mayfield connected with eight different targets overall on the afternoon, hitting Mike Evans and Trey Palmer (concussion) for first-quarter touchdown passes of two and 15 yards, respectively. Mayfield then added his own one-yard scoring rush in the second quarter, and his trio of trips to the end zone Sunday give him 10 total touchdowns through four games. Mayfield won't have to wait long to add to that tally, as the Buccaneers face off with the Falcons in a Week 5 Thursday night divisional battle.
