Seems To Be A Bug Going Through Bucs’ Locker Room
October 22nd, 2026
Under the weather.
There appears to be a virus among us. At least in the Bucs locker room.
Yeah, yeah. Joe knows who some will point to as the virus. But seriously, the fact that on Wednesday’s injury report that “illness” is listed so often for players makes Joe think there’s a real virus going around One Buc Palace.
Riley Dixon, Bucky Irving, Calijah Kancey, Zyon McCollum and Chase McLaughlin were all listed as having an “illness.” Bucky and McCollum missed all of practice on Wednesday as a result.
Kancey was limited while Dixon and McLaughlin gutted their way through the full practice.
Another lowlight of the injury report was that Emeka Egbuka suddenly popped up with a concussion. He did not practice. Neither did Luke Goedeke (calf) and Christian Rozeboom (finger).
So it isn’t just quarterback Baker Mayfield that the Bucs are worried about for Sunday in Carolina.

Bowles is the best coach in the NFL bar none. And we have two of them!
Right in the thick of things in the division! Competing for titles!!!
Anyone not on board is just a troll. Extend Todd now before it’s too late!!!!

This team is so soft.

This isn’t Bowles fault, Bucs medical is flying the plane with a short oar. Ever since the mirsa virus it hasn’t been right. It’s ok. Todd has a plan for them too. Trust the process.

Losing is the best thing for this team. Drive the nails into the certainty of Bowles’ firing.
Start the fire sale immediately.
Tank it the rest of the way.

The San Diego State Aztecs had an outbreak of mumps a few weeks ago. Seriously, they did/do. They had 36 players on the injury report heading into their match-up with Texas State. Symptoms can include testicular inflammation (orchitis.) It could be worse. Way worse.
If y’all must continue to piss and moan without offering alternatives could we at least try to offer an interesting connection to the content of the story.
Pissing and moaning about Bowles does not help the Bucs win. That’s a fact. You victims are trashing this space.

Seems to me that Bowles is going to go to the illness card when he manages to lose to Carolina by yet another on score game and then spew out the same lame gibberish which he has thrown out there since he gave Brady his only losing season. I am with SkunkApe, try out-charge/tank the Chargers, Washington, Philly, Colts, Fins and Titans for a top draft pick.
