RECORDED PRIOR to the Christian McCaffrey trade. … Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks dives into Sunday’s game with Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman. More fun from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.
At first, Joe thought this was like seeing Julio Jones on a football field. You know, a mirage?
The Bucs just updated their injury report for tomorrow’s game at Carolina and it is not good news.
Carlton Davis will miss the game with his hip injury. Joe is guessing facing a spiraling team like the Stinking Panthers, perhaps the Bucs can skate by without Davis, their No. 1 cornerback, and No. 3 corner Sean Murphy-Bunting, who is out with a bad quad.
Also, the Bucs activated offensive lineman Josh Wells from the injured reserve list.
Flash poll posted at 8:23 a.m. Poll closed at 9:50 a.m. Last week’s results are linked here.
