Coach Todd Bowles said Palmer (undisclosed) is tending to a minor injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

After suiting up for both of the Buccaneers' first two preseason games, Palmer sat out Friday's exhibition win against the Dolphins, even though starters not named WR Mike Evans were available. Palmer now is among three of the team's wide receivers dealing with undisclosed health concerns -- also, Sterling Shepard and Rakim Jarrett -- so he'll use the time before Week 1 to get back to 100 percent. Rookie third-rounder Jalen McMillan appears to be the leader in the clubhouse for the No. 3 at the position behind Evans and Chris Godwin, and Palmer's current issue may solidify that thinking further.
