The Buccaneers have to face a Seahawks team that is tough, but one that will be missing key players due to injury.

More from The Pewter Plank

The Buccaneers may be facing the 7-2-1 Seahawks at just the right time, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, we all know how tough they can be, and that the Bucs have had to work hard to get back to a 5-5 record.

Russell Wilson has also been unstoppable every week. He has been a bit limited with his running due to his health, but that has started to come around. He also proves week in and week out that he can make very throw in the book.

The reason it may be the right time, however, comes down to the injury report. The Seahawks are banged up, the Bucs are not.

Let’s see what I mean. First the report for the Bucs:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Game Status
Evan Smith	62	C	Knee	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Brent Grimes	24	CB	Quadriceps	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Questionable
Jacquizz Rodgers	32	RB	Foot	Limited Participation	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Questionable
Luke Stocker	88	TE	Ankle	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Full Participation	Questionable
Alterraun Verner	21	CB	Not Injury Related			Did Not Participate	Questionable
Kevin Pamphile	64	G	Concussion	Full Participation	Full Participation	Full Participation	–

It looks like the boys from Tampa are ready to go. Other than Evan Smith, nobody is listed as out. Alterraun Verner didn’t practice today, so we will see if he suits up, but it is looking for everybody else.

For the Seahawks, it isn’t what we hoped, but there are key guys that will miss the game.

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Game Status
Michael Bennett	72	DE	Knee	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Troymaine Pope	43	RB	Ankle	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
C.J. Prosise	22	RB	Shoulder	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Earl Thomas	29	S	Hamstring	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Out
Brock Coyle	52	LB	Foot	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Doubtful
Justin Britt	68	C	Ankle	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Questionable
Tanner McEvoy	19	WR	Toe	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Full Participation	Questionable
Damontre Moore	97	DE	Foot	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Questionable
DeShawn Shead	35	CB	Hamstring	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate	Questionable
Jimmy Graham	88	TE	Knee	Did Not Participate	Full Participation	Full Participation	–
Kevin Pierre-Louis	58	LB	Hamstring	Limited Participation	Full Participation	Full Participation	–
Richard Sherman	25	CB	Ankle	Did Not Participate	Full Participation	Full Participation	–
Russell Wilson	3	QB	Knee	Full Participation	Full Participation	Full Participation	–

So no, they aren’t missing Graham or Sherman. But hey, it means we get to see him line up against Mike Evans which should be exciting. But seriously, there are key players on that list that have been declared out. Missing Bennett, Prosise and Thomas will make a difference.

Will it be enough to give the Bucs the upset? Time will tell soon enough.
