Devin White Downgraded

September 7th, 2019

Injury report update.

Bruce Arians was right. The flu-like bug is going around.

This time the victim is first-round draft pick Devin White.

The Bucs this morning downgraded White’s status for tomorrow’s season opener against the 49ers to “questionable” with what is termed as an “illness.” The virus was not specified but the team has been hit with it, as Arians discussed after practice Friday.

Bucs stud receiver Mike Evans did not practice yesterday due to having a virus. Bucco Bruce Arians did note yesterday that this viral strain seems to run its course in 24 hours.

If White cannot go, it will push back his NFL debut until likely Thursday at Carolina.

    Its not the flu. Influenza lasts more than 24 hours. 3-7 days is typical.

  2. BetterBucFan Says:

    Not too worried. The Bucs have all the advances of modern technology, with the money to pay for it. He’ll be good.

  3. tmaxcon Says:

    is it the flu or are they trying to protect the latest draft mistake.

  4. richbucsfan Says:

    Arian’s MRSA curse. I swear this team has a hex

  5. Rayjay1122 Says:

    Dehydration is going to be a huge challenge Sunday afternoon especially for guys who are ill.

  6. tmaxcon Says:

    Now they have week 1 excuses lined with flu…they can focus on week 2 excuses maybe blame refs whatever it is bucfan is never lacking in excuses

  7. SC Bucs Fan Says:

    TPax whatever it is I hope you catch it and can’t post here for a couple days

  8. Shooters Says:

    tmaxcon MIGHT BE ON POINT.

    WINSTON HAD A BAD GAME BECAUSE HIS TEAMMATES HAD THE FLU

    how about a post comparing Chernobyl survivor stories with those of ex-buc players on how they survived minor league buc facilitates. seems like bucs have ruined more careers than Chernobyl disaster which makes it a fair comparison. i bet most players would rather return to culverhouse’s double wide than dance with MRSA

  15. SCBucsFan Says:

    Sad part TBBF is how many posters on here are hoping that we will lose just so they can say they were correct. Sounds like a fan.

  16. StonedBuc Says:

    Someone went out and ate some bad cheese

  17. lambchop Says:

    Antonio Brown is released by the Raiders. AB always has a chip on his shoulder. It’s going to be his downfall cuz he’s always gonna make it about him and how he has to stick it to the man every time.

  18. Jean Lafitte Says:

    AB released by Raiders. Sad part will be somebody else will sign him and he knows it.

  19. LargoBuc Says:

    We got some depth. We’ll be good.

  20. Hodad Says:

    It’s not flu season yet, if it was they’d be talking about on the news. It usually hits in the schools first, and I know plenty of people who work in schools, my wife included, and there’s nothing going around right now. If there was a mystery bug biting the Bucs, wouldn’t they all be on antibiotics just in case? Grown men in peak condition, with the best doctors money can buy shouldn’t be getting sick from some mystery illness.

  21. RODNEY ALLEN Says:

    24hrs? Sounds like a stomach flu. That could be a sh!tty situation game day literally

  22. BigMacAttack Says:

    The Bucs need to lose those crappy white pants BTW.

  23. rrsrq Says:

    As long as it’s not MSRA, at least it’s a home game and guys can recover at home – locker room is one thing, but the whole darn team could get this on a plane

  24. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Soooo can we ease up on Djacks just a bit now that AB just showed what Rock bottom looks like with Diva WRs. Never got this bad with Mesean.

  25. Joe Says:

    Stomach flus do not have rules other than they make people barf.

  26. Chris l Says:

    Why do these bugs always happen to the bucs? Who allows the rooms to get like this? God people wash your hands

  27. Marine Buc Says:

    Antonio Brown wants to play for Bruce Arians.

  28. BucsBandit Says:

    @cgmaster27 nah, bro, you’ve just got the SADS because your boy Jameis has had more EXCUSES for his Turnover Machine play than any player in NFL history.

  29. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Are the janitors at One Buc Place still from Schianos staff?

  30. Rafterman 61 Says:

    Look for Jerry Jones to sign Antonio Brown

  31. Oneilbucs Says:

    This team is probably going to lose this week I hope I’m worng.

  32. TonyC Says:

    Jesus bombard yourself with echinacea, astragalus, garlic, vitamin C, zinc, ginger and you’ll be fine in 24 hours

  33. Joe Says:

    Look for Jerry Jones to sign Antonio Brown

    LOL Not sure they need him but it is an interesting thought.

  34. Rayjay1122 Says:

    AB will need a team who has no clear cut star WR on its roster to take targets from AB, who will stroke his Ego and coddle his diva attitude, who will not hold him to team standards or expectations and who will give him the most money. Basically he needs to play for the Unicorns.

  35. ModHairKen Says:

    Wear the dark pants, Bucs.

  36. AlteredEgo Say: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Says:

    AB left 30,000,000 guaranteed on the table

  37. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Get well soon, sick Bucs players. If not, it’s next man up, the same with injuries. There will be no Smith “ran” defense, Lovie or Mike. Thank God!!

  38. AwShbucs Says:

    Altered. No he didnt. The Raiders voided the guarantees in his contract.

  39. Mike Johnson Says:

    Our Bucs are Snakebit. The one game we thought was a sure thing just keeps getting more difficult. I think its true fellow Buc fans. We are stuck in the perpetual…BUCLIFE baby.

  40. Tnew Says:

    Without “probable” as an option on the injury report, these cases have to be placed as questionable. He will play

  41. SCBucsFan Says:

    AB perfect for the Pats and doesn’t cost them a pick

  42. Joe Says:

    Just checked White’s Instagram Stories page. He just posted a couple of videos. Either he isn’t too terribly sick or the music he listens to is a magical elixir.

  43. But mommy my tummy hurts... I can’t go to school today. Says:

    Excuses starting early and often. Get out there and play you pansy arse. You make more in one afternoon than most of us make in a year! Earn your dough!

    Would someone please explain to AwSh… how AB walked away from 30 million guaranteed

  45. WestChap Says:

    Just catching up on NFL and my Bucs… White as last minute add to Injury Report made me feel Bucs are going to be snake-bitten once again this year… and THEN latest act in The Opera of AB hits the stage. Oh my… my Bucs are all good. AB? Not so much. #LookAway

  46. Bucs Nick Says:

    Excited for game number one will be at Raymond James tomorrow go BUCS!

  47. danr Says:

    i would love to see AB on the seahawks.

    or the titans.

    not gonna lie. he would fit carolina. cam and CMC running wild with ab deep? NASTY. really hoping he ends up on the titans lol.

  48. Ghost of Darrell Henderson Says:

    In between Instagram posts Devin should google Wally Pipp.

    1st baseman Pipp called in sick one day for the the Yankees. His replacement Lou Gehrig didn’t miss a start for 2,130 games.

    Antibiotics have no affect on viruses. They are for fighting bacterial infections.

    Want to avoid spreading viruses, wash your hands and wear a breathing mask.

  51. SC Bucs Fan Says:

    Funny ghost. Because we have so much talent at backup linebacker.

  52. Miller5252 Says:

    I’m going with AB going to the Texans…. all that extra money they could throw out there and no GM….. Billy might try something else crazy.

  53. Miller5252 Says:

    I sure hope White is at full strength come Sunday. I really want to see if he was being held back and working on getting people in the right spot and ready to go full speed come Sunday.

  54. Dewey Selmon Says:

    Antonia Brown signed with the Patriots. just wow.

  55. Elita Vita Says:

    In other news…the Pats just signed A Brown…..what a surprise!!! Not!!!!

  56. Jean Lafitte Says:

    I’d like to see AB suspended indefinitely for insubordination. His behavior should be unacceptable. He is a cancer, and I hope whatever team stoops low to sign him regrets the day they took advantage of this and he completely blows up their team.

  57. Jean Lafitte Says:

    and of course the Hatriots take advantage. AB actually got rewarded for being a total @ss

  58. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Remember about a year ago when tmaxcon was suspended and we had more than a month of peace? Man, I miss those days.

    My birthday is this week, I know what I want, Joe!!!!

  59. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Bummer about this illness bug. Doesn’t really matter what it is so long as it goes away quickly.

    I bet White toughs it out if he isn’t over it.

  60. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Would be hilarious if the NFL handed down a season suspension on Brown. Personal conduct policy.

  61. tmaxcon Says:

    ab comes out smelling like roses and escaped the Oakland dumpster fire. hopefully evans and winston can escape the bucs dumpster fire sooner than later. they both deserve much better than the pathetic glazers can provide.

    “Just checked White’s Instagram Stories page. He just posted a couple of videos. Either he isn’t too terribly sick or the music he listens to is a magical elixir.”

    Or they were videos from before he got sick.

  63. SC Bucs Fan Says:

    Gee what poster said three hours ago he’d sign with the Pats.

  64. SC Bucs Fan Says:

    Oh yeah that was me

    What flu is going around? It’s September and it’s 95 degrees – hardly the flu season.

    stomach flus happen year round…

  69. Pelbuc61 Says:

    Man, if he doesn’t play that would be such a whimp and flaccid start for the 5th overall pick. It’s a Bucs life! Man up for 3 hrs and get an IV!

  70. JimmyJack Says:

    I am surprized that nobody blamed Licht for this.

    At least glad to hear it’s a 24 hr thing. That means Evans should be fine. Also sounds like White will be good with a solid night’s rest.

    The Scarry part is worring who wakes up puking tomorrow. Not looking forward to finding that part out.

    Trevor Lawrence looks like a girl. Just saying.

  76. JimbobBucsFan Says:

    The Patriots picked up AB for half the price the Raiders dealt for him. He will be able to play in 15 games. I’m sure the Patriots coaches/management are laughing their butts off.

    As a football fan I think AB is is a prima donna and a piece of human feces. He got away with a weird form of extortion.

    I would hate to see a guy like him brought here, ever!

  77. Buc1987 Says:

    Tmax…now you’re just stretching the neg…..for replies.
