Injury report.
In a win-or-jump-on-the-plane-for-the-DR game, the Bucs are about as healthy as a team could hope to be in its final regular season game. [read more]
Green light.
Todd Bowles made it official today. Injured Bucs starting quarterback Baker Mayfield has been given the green light on his sore ribs. Mayfield will start Sunday at Carolina.
Bowles said all players will be ready for the game against the Stinking Panthers. That includes cornerback Carlton Davis.
Of course, it’s a do-or-die game for the Bucs. Win and they host a playoff game next week. Lose and they clean out their lockers.
Tie? Well, maybe they play next week.
