INJURIES
Emeka Egbuka - Back at practice Thursday Egbuka, who was present for practice Thursday, was spotted testing his injured foot, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact While Egbuka opened up the practice week with a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Auman relays that the wideout was running full speed on the side during that session. The Buccaneers' official practice report will reveal the official Thursday participation level of Egbuka, who last saw game action in Week 6.

Jalen McMillan - Won't be back until after bye McMillan (knee) isn't expected back until after Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact McMillan was initially given a return timetable of 6-to-8 weeks after aggravating a PCL sprain in his left knee in Week 3. Head coach Todd Bowles said McMillan won't have his window to return from IR opened before the Buccaneers face the Bears on Sunday, and Tampa Bay will be on bye the following week, so McMillan's next chance to play won't come until Nov. 22 at Detroit.

NFL Week 9 Betting Report: Books Hoping For Low-Scoring Marquee Matchups
Tykee Smith - Limited to open week Smith (ankle) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.
Impact Smith was less than 100 percent to open the week after recording two total tackles (one solo) during the team's 16-0 win over the Falcons in Week 8. The safety may have picked up an ankle injury in the contest, and he will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday night's contest against Chicago.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Gainwell - Limited Wednesday Gainwell (hip) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Gainwell sustained a hip injury during the Buccaneers' Week 7 win at Carolina, but he played through the issue en route to 14 carries for 88 yards. He then followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen last week before being listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Falcons, for which he was active. Gainwell then reeled off a career-best 140 yards on 25 carries while working in tandem with fellow RB Bucky Irving. With a capped session under his belt to begin this week, Gainwell seems to be in a better spot than he was a week ago, but Friday's practice report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Bauer Sharp - Playing time on upswing Sharp went without a target while playing 19 of the Buccaneers' 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.
Impact After logging single-digit snaps on offense in each of the first six games of the season, Sharp appears to have firmly supplanted Ko Kieft as the Buccaneers' No. 3 tight end behind Cade Otton and Payne Durham. Sharp played a quarter of the snaps in a Week 7 win over the Buccaneers before bumping up to a season-high 32 percent share during Sunday's victory. The rookie sixth-round pick out of LSU will likely continue to be utilized mainly as a blocker; he's drawn just one target (a 21-yard reception) while running only nine total routes so far this season.

Emeka Egbuka - Doesn't practice Wednesday Head coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, but the wide receiver was able to run on a side field, the the Buccaneers will see how he feels Thursday, Scott...
Impact Egbuka was able to clear ths concussion protocol last Friday, but he still missed this past Sunday's win against the Falcons due to a foot injury, marking a second absence in a row. Seemingly, Wednesday's bit of running is a test to get a sense of where Egbuka stands, health-wise, so Thursday's session could be revealing for his chances to return to action Sunday at Chicago.

Emeka Egbuka - Works on the side Wednesday Egbuka (foot) was spotted running on the side with a trainer Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Egbuka, who last suited up for game action in Week 6, was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday before logging a 'DNP' on Friday. It remains to be seen what his participation level will be as the week unfolds, but if Egbuka remains sidelined Sunday night against the Bears, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson would be in line to lead Tampa Bay's Week 9 WR corps.

Tez Johnson - No catches in Week 8 Johnson did not garner a target during Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.
Impact Johnson and the rest of the Buccaneers' pass catchers went without receptions in Week 8 as quarterback Baker Mayfield failed to complete a pass on three attempts in the team's rain-soaked victory. The wide receiver may have another chance to operate in a prominent role on offense if fellow wideout Emeka Egbuka (foot) remains unavailable Sunday versus the Bears.

2026 NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Broncos, Bears Make Moves After Big Wins
Ted Hurst III - No grabs in Week 8 win Hurst failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.
Impact Even with Emeka Egbuka (foot) missing a second straight game, Hurst couldn't catch a break, as the game was played in a downpour. Tampa Bay attempted just three passes during the entire game. Hurst has now gone without a catch in back-to-back games without Egbuka in the lineup. He has minimal fantasy appeal outside of being a hold in dynasty formats.
