Nelson (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The sixth-year linebacker has logged 31 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Returns to practice Thursday
Nelson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Nelson was sidelined for Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury he likely picked up against the Panthers this past Sunday. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his chance of playing this Sunday against the Raiders. Nelson could revert to a reserve role at outside linebacker Sunday if Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is able to return from an ankle injury.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Active Sunday
Nelson is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The outside linebacker missed practice Friday due to a personal reason, per Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Records sack in Week 8 loss
Nelson tallied four solo tackles, including a sack and an additional tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
The fifth-year linebacker returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion in Week 7 but logged only 18 snaps. However, he was back to 25 snaps on defense Thursday and matched his season high in tackles while also recording his first sack since Week 1. As a rotational linebacker, Nelson retains only marginal value in deep fantasy formats that feature IDPs.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Back in action
Nelson (concussion) is active Week 7 against Atlanta.
Nelson sat out last week against Detroit but logged full practices each day this week en route to clearing the league's concussion protocol. Through the first four games of the year, Nelson had accumulated just eight combined tackles, so the reserve linebacker is only on the IDP radar in the deepest of formats.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Officially questionable for Sunday
Nelson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Despite practicing in full all week, Nelson will carry a questionable tag into the weekend. It's possible there are outstanding steps for him to fully clear the league's concussion protocol, and if he can't play in Week 7, it would open up more chances for Cam Gill to rush the passer.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Officially inactive

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Deemed doubtful
Nelson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions due to a concussion, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Nelson was apparently in concussion protocol all week, although he was a full participant at practice. His doubtful designation indicates he is not trending toward clearing the league's protocols prior to kickoff Sunday. Still, final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until a few hours before game time. With Shaquil Barrett (illness) considered questionable, the Bucs could be spread a little thin on the edge. Thus, YaYa Diaby, Markees Watts and Cam Gill have the potential to see increased workloads.
