Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jalon Daniels

QB

Daniels has led Tampa Bay to a 1-2 record over his three starts in Mayfield's absence. The rookie has completed an acceptable 63.2 percent of his passes and has averaged 39 rush yards per game, but he's thrown four interceptions and just three touchdowns. While Mayfield still carries a questionable tag for Sunday, he was a full participant in practice all week, and coach Todd Bowles said the veteran signal-caller "looks like he's ready to go."

Zyon McCollum

CB

McCollum opened the week as a DNP due to an illness, but he upgraded his practice participation over the next two days and has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. The fifth-year defensive back has 27 tackles (22 solo), seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through six regular-season games.

Antoine Winfield Jr.

S

Winfield was back on the practice field for Week 7 prep and was a limited participant in all three sessions. However, he has not been given the green light to return Sunday, so his next chance to suit up is Week 8 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 1. Ifeatu Melifonwu figures to once again start alongside Tykee Smith at safety in Winfield's absence.

Tez Johnson

WR

Egbuka has seen at least nine targets in three of the Buccaneers' last four games, and those looks will be spread to Johnson, veteran Chris Godwin and rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst. The loss of Egbuka is significant for Tampa Bay's passing game, but the good news is franchise quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) appears on track to return from a three-game absence to play in Week 7. It's been an inconsistent season for Johnson, who has 20 receiving yards or less in four of six regular-season games and has a 7-145-0 receiving line on 13 targets.

Luke Goedeke

OT

Goedeke missed the first two practices of Week 7 prep due to a calf issue, and while he returned in a limited capacity Friday, he will not be available for Sunday's NFC South tilt. The Buccaneers will have to turn to Justin Skule or Benjamin Chukwuma to start at right tackle in the absence of Goedeke, whose next chance to play is Week 8 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 1.
