Tykee Smith - Feeling better Smith (illness) will play Sunday against the Lions, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Smith was unable to practice Thursday or Friday, but he traveled with the team to Detroit and has made enough progress in his recovery to take the field Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Hall - Will play Sunday Hall (foot) is active Sunday against the Lions, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Hall was unable to play Week 1, but he's well enough to make his season debut Sunday. His return to action is good news for the Buccaneers front which will remain without Calijah Kancey (calf).

How to Watch Lions vs. Buccaneers: Time, TV Channel and Live Stream – 2024 Week 2
Tykee Smith - Travelling to Detroit Smith (illness) is travelling with the Buccaneers to Detroit, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Smith came down with an illness this week, which prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday. He'll go through warmups before Sunday's game, but if he's unable to suit up, Tavierre Thomas would be the top candidate to slide into the nickel corner role. Smith registered two tackles while playing 40 snaps (38 on defense, two on special teams) in Week 1 against the Commanders.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Zyon McCollum - Clears concussion protocols McCollum has cleared the league's concussion protocols and will be able to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McCollum was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday, and after successfully navigating through the league's concussion protocols, he is good to go for Sunday's contest. The 2022 fifth-round pick will start at corner opposite Jamel Dean.

Luke Goedeke - Ruled out for Week 2 Goedeke (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Goedeke played all 64 offensive snaps in Tampa Bay's Week 1 win over the Commanders but reported concussion symptoms earlier this week and will miss the clash between NFC playoff hopefuls. Justin Skule is expected to get the start in Goedeke's place at right tackle.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Zyon McCollum - Questionable for Sunday McCollum (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The third-year cornerback was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session on Wednesday, but he likely still needs to pass concussion protocol with a neurologist test, as he's been listed as questionable on the Buccaneers' injury report. If McCollum is not cleared from his concussion by Sunday's contest, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work in Tampa Bay's depleted secondary.

Tykee Smith - Deemed questionable for Week 2 Smith (illness) is not practicing Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Smith operated as Tampa Bay's top slot cornerback Week 1, so it would be a notable loss for the secondary if he can't suit up versus Detroit. The Buccaneers are already down safety Antoine Winfield (foot), plus cornerbacks Josh Hayes (ankle) and Bryce Hall (ankle, IR) for Week 2.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Hayes - Won't play Sunday Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Hayes was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up Sunday. Expect Christian Izien and Tyrek Funderburk to see more work in Tampa Bay's secondary as Hayes continues to recover.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Calijah Kancey - Won't play Week 2 Kancey (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Kancey is now in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 2 as the 23-year-old continues to recover from the calf injury he sustained one week ago. Expect William Gholston and Ben Stille to see increased work with the Buccaneers' first-team defense in Kancey's stead.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Winfield Jr. - Officially out for Week 2 Winfield (foot) has been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 2 contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact This comes as no surprise, as the fifth-year safety is expected to miss three to four weeks after sustaining a foot injury during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win. Expect Kaevon Merriweather to line up alongside Jordan Whitehead in Tampa Bay's secondary while Winfield remains sidelined.

Zyon McCollum - Upgraded to full participant McCollum (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.
Impact McCollum was forced to leave in the second quarter of the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Commanders after sustaining a concussion. He's been able to increase his practice participation this week, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is still working through the league's concussion protocols. McCollum's participation in Friday's practice will give a better indication on whether he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Detroit.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
K.J. Britt - No restrictions Thursday Britt (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Impact Britt was limited Wednesday due to an illness, but the 2021 fifth-round pick appears to have moved past that issue. He accrued five tackles (three solo) and played 42 snaps (38 on defense, four on special teams) in the Bucs' Week 1 win over the Commanders.
