Bucs get hit with yet another unexpected injury heading into Week 2 matchup against Lions

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going through it when it comes to injuries. Multiple players, including All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. have already missed a game, are going to miss the Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions, or are battling through ailments as the week progresses.

Starting right tackle Luke Goedeke was added to Wednesday’s injury report because he’s currently going through concussion protocol and that only added to the situation. He was actually downgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday to a non-participant on Thursday, which is not good news. On Thursday, rookie cornerback and the team’s primary nickel, Tykee Smith, was added to the report with an illness, marking yet another key player dealing with some kind of injury.

However, there was more good news than bad on Thursday. Starting cornerback Zyon McCollum, starting defensive lineman Logan Hall, starting linebacker K.J. Britt, and defensive lineman Will Gholston were all upgraded to full participants.
