Rueben Bain Primed For Return (Official Injury Report)
October 6th, 2026
Miami Mauler rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain has only played in Weeks 1 and 2. He was incredibly overwhelming.
When Joe saw Bain against the Bengals on opening day, Joe quickly reacted that Bain must be hurt. He played in Week 2 and then his summer shoulder injury re-appeared as did a new groin issue. While the Bucs haven’t announced Bain will play on Thursday in Dallas, it seems he’ll be ready to go.
While the Bucs aren’t practicing this week (no NFL team does on a short week), the official injury report says he would be full-go if the Bucs were practicing.
Joe can’t wait to see Bain back on the field. He and the other young Bucs could be the only fun thing left in the 2026 campaign.

October 6th, 2026 at 5:56 pm

Benji = Jamel “always in the tub” Dean

It will be awesome to see him get out there so out BS coach can tell him to go hug a O lineman or maybe drop into a zone so we can focus on coverage.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:10 pm
Hey look! Morrison didn’t practice AGAIN. What a waste of a roster spot.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:11 pm
I think we at least go to NFC championship game…
October 6th, 2026 at 6:11 pm
This will be Bain, Yaya, Kancey coming out game
We shall see in a few nights
October 6th, 2026 at 6:12 pm
Possibly Suoer bowl winner… GO TODD!!!
October 6th, 2026 at 6:12 pm
Chase with a hip injury on his kicking leg and a groin issue is concerning.
Hope it’s nothing too serious.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:15 pm
If the defense give up 30 points or more
Maybe then Zac will open up the offense
That’s probably what it takes to stop playing, not to lose
October 6th, 2026 at 6:17 pm
A loss at Dallas,hold their checks, players and coaches!Heel toe express back to Tampa
October 6th, 2026 at 6:20 pm
Who cares…Todd ruined what Tom Brady installed in this franchise….thats leadership and accountability. None with DEI hire no brain Todd.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:20 pm
Overwhelming???
October 6th, 2026 at 6:21 pm
my guess for inactives : Mayfield Winfield Dennis Morrison Haggard Schrauth Capehart
elevated : Stick Roberts
October 6th, 2026 at 6:22 pm
? Joe, did you mean to say “underwhelming” in weeks 1 and 2?
October 6th, 2026 at 6:25 pm
I’m predicting 4 sacks from Bain, Yaya, Kancey
October 6th, 2026 at 6:29 pm
Bucs and Miami can fight it out in the Repus Bowl!
October 6th, 2026 at 6:36 pm
Im predicting an early night
October 6th, 2026 at 6:37 pm
I hope they’re not rushing him back trying to save their job’s? I don’t trust Bowles, or our training staff when it comes to player injuries. Mcmillan was good to go, one play he’s on I.R..
October 6th, 2026 at 6:39 pm
“Incredibly overwhelming”?
Sure he was!
And the “Offensive line is a top 5 line. A team strength”
And “Wide receiver Room might be a league best”.
And “Bucs should walk away with NFC South. They are Poised for a deep playoff run.
I can’t help but wonder what some people are looking at.
I see a really bad GM. He’s built a really bad team, and handed it to a horrible Coach. Despite finishing on a gut wrenching 10 game losing streak last season, our GM decided to upgrade . . . Nothing.
And the coach who guided them to that cataclysmic collapse changed . . .
Nothing
Now our all pro QB is trapped behind a line that can’t pass block. Trying to throw to WRs who dont get open. Or to stone handed TEs.
Or, our talented Cornerbacks have to chase world class track stars forever. Because this team cannot rush the QB. Nothing. Just absolutely pathetic.
And our Linebackers cannot cover RBs or TEs.
I haven’t seen one second of “Incredibly overwhelming” from anyone.
Especially not the rookie Bain. Which is fine. He’s a rookie.

*Underwhelming
October 6th, 2026 at 6:45 pm
Capt.Tim. Exactly. Well said.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:46 pm
Lakeland again layoff the heavy drugs
October 6th, 2026 at 6:48 pm
He has as many sacks as Conrad Bain, and didn’t star in Different Strokes like the guy Conrad Dobler was named after.
October 6th, 2026 at 6:54 pm
Lakeland has to be team AI bot. Bucs look great! Have a wonderful day!
October 6th, 2026 at 6:56 pm
Kicker is out Thursday.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:09 pm
Bain is doing fine doing “other things”. What is the problem? Coach ‘em up Bowles to accomplish all those other things besides touching the QB.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:09 pm
All hype, no results.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
David Walker > Bain
October 6th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
Yawn. Maybe he’ll double his total tackles for the season and get another one.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:24 pm
Bain is an entitled thug. He is getting ragedolled by grown men in the NFL. Then claims to be injured, which take us back to entitlement.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:26 pm
Can we get a feed of just Bain, Walker, and Trotter?
October 6th, 2026 at 7:35 pm
@Fishawk! ..WOW! tell us how you really feel!
…Nice
October 6th, 2026 at 7:40 pm
Um… “He was incredibly overwhelming.”???
I don’t think that means what you think it means.
October 6th, 2026 at 7:56 pm
At least a nationally televised game should get them pumped. Oh wait, its on Amazon. Nevermind. 0-5.
