The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off their first game of the season, which did not come down to the wire for the team. They enjoyed a two-score win of 30-19, and it allowed them to look more impressive than usual in the process. However, their toughest matchup of the season is waiting for them as the Detroit Lions welcome them to their house on the road.
The Thursday practice report for the Bucs will set the tone for how things can shape out as we get closer to gameday on Monday.
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 Thursday:
