• Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Full-go for Week 1

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Egbuka (toe) is "full go" ahead of Sunday's contest in Cincinnati, per River Wells of SI.com, and the second-year wide receiver doesn't have a designation for Week 1 action. Egbuka initially sustained a sprained toe during an Aug. 12 practice that sidelined him until this week, but his ability to handle every practice rep Wednesday through Friday has him in the clear for Sunday. With numerous injuries affecting the Buccaneers' receiving corps last season, he still put up a 63-938-6 line on 127 targets in 17 regular-season games as a rookie. Considering Mike Evans is out of the picture, Egbuka should be the team's featured WR in a matchup against the Bengals that should produce plenty of splash plays.

  Egbuka (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Egbuka is ready to go for Sunday's Week 1 opener against the Bengals, and in a game with the highest projected points total on the slate, Egbuka is looking like a fantasy WR2 with obvious upside. He's expected to take over as the Bucs' top wideout this season after Mike Evans left for San Francisco in free agency.

• Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Looks to be practicing fully Wednesday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Egbuka (toe) was on the field for the start of Wednesday's practice and appeared to be a full participant, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Tampa Bay will post its first injury report of the season after Wednesday's session concludes, and if Egbuka is in fact listed as a full participant, he would be in the clear to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Bengals. For much of training camp, Egbuka was a spectator or limited participant while he tended to a sprained toe, but he appears to have made positive strides in his recovery over the past week. Tampa Bay looks set to have all of its key pass catchers available for Week 1, as Jalen McMillan (knee) also looked to be practicing fully Wednesday.

  Egbuka (toe) is "participating in warmups and running routes" at Monday's practice, according to Pewter Report.

There has been hope that Egbuka will be available for Week 1, and there remains reason to believe he will be available for Tampa Bay's opener.

  Egbuka (toe) is not practicing Tuesday, per Pewter Report. The second-year wideout is working through a toe injury that has slowed him since mid-August. Coach Todd Bowles said over the weekend that he was "hopeful" Egbuka would be available for Week 1, which is now just under two weeks away. Until Egbuka can return to the practice field, his status for Tampa Bay's season opener appears to be in limbo.
