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.

On Sunday, the Bucs lost to a USFL secondary in Pittsburgh, and this Sunday’s they’ll face a USFL quarterback. That’s where Panthers starting QB P.J. Walker was in 2019. [read more]
Julio Jones will not take his 51st snap of this Bucs season on Sunday.
Todd Bowles made it official today that Julio will continue to nurse his bad knee. He’ll join Akiem Hicks (foot) Cameron Brate (neck) and Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad) in the street clothes crowd.
The best injury news of the day is that ballhawk safety Mike Edwards is good to go after an elbow injury.
Starting tight end Cameron Brate’ scary sprained neck injury sounds like it scared a few folks at One Buc Palace. [read more]
