Gage (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Gage remains sidelined due to the hamstring issue that he suffered Week 7 in Carolina and appears to be trending toward a second straight absence Sunday against the Rams. If such an outcome is confirmed on the release of Friday's injury report, the Buccaneers likely will roll with their top three wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) -- who was limited Wednesday and Thursday -- Chris Godwin and Julio Jones (knee) in Week 9
