It’s a short week for the Buccaneers, so here comes the final injury report for the game against the Atlanta Falcons.

More from The Pewter Plank

Sometimes a quick turnaround can be a good thing, which it just might be for the Buccaneers. When you lose a heartbreaker as the Bucs did to Oakland, it can take a few days to get over it. When there are only a few days to prepare for the next one, the team is forced to get over it faster.

And when you go up against the leaders in your division, the game becomes that much bigger. We know what is at stake when the Bucs line up against the Falcons on Thursday night to complete the season series. They have had the Falcons’ number as of late, but anything can happen when you score as much as Atlanta does.

With that, let’s get to the final injury report of the week. First as always, for the Bucs:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Game Status
William Gholston	92	DE	Biceps	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Questionable
Russell Shepard	89	WR	Hip	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Limited Participation	Doubtful
Doug Martin	22	RB	Hamstring	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Clinton McDonald	98	DT	Hamstring	Limited Participation	Limited Participation	Limited Participation	Out
Jacquizz Rodgers	32	RB	Foot	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out

Unfortunately, it seems there is a decent chance that Shep will not be available, which takes away a growing weapon from Jameis Winston and company. Gholston may very well make his return, adding to the growing health of the defensive line. All hands on deck to get after Matt Ryan would be a good thing.

Now for the Falcons:
