Bucs vs. Saints Wednesday Injury Report: Important Starters Out

The Bucs had a couple of questions heading into this week of practice, most notably on the defensive side of the ball. Tampa Bay were mainly healthy in their game against the Jaguars, but injuries suffered during the contest made for a different look as they prepare for the Saints.

Wednesday’s practice was a walkthrough, which has been customary for the Bucs over the last two months. There was no sign of cornerback Carlton Davis as he suffered a concussion last game. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that he is still in the protocol. Outside linebacker Shaq Barrett was seen at practice but came up as a did not participate on the injury list due to a groin injury. Also not practicing was tight end Ko Kieft. He had a shoulder injury last game as well.

Tampa Bay has some players that were designated to come off of injured reserve with wide receiver Rakim Jarrett and defensive tackle Mike Greene, who was just taken off of IR on Wednesday.

The big questions will be around Davis and Barrett for the rest of the week, as will Kieft since he does have a role in the offense. Though Tampa Bay is a little banged up, New Orleans is the team that is really doing with a lot of players on their list.
