The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off just their second loss of the season, this one coming to the Detroit Lions on the road. They have a chance to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. The team has a good record of dealing with the Saints in recent years, but anything is possible given the health of the team this year.
The Wednesday practice report for the Bucs on a short week will set the tone for how things can shape out as we get closer to gameday on Sunday.
The injuries have piled up, as we said, but some players are making progress in their return, or have returned altogether. Here is how the injuries and practice status shook down in the report the team released on Wednesday:
