Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Officially questionable for Sunday
Anthony 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: Deemed doubtful
Anthony 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.

Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Career-best season in '22
Anthony Nelson totaled 46 tackles (26 solo), including 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 games during the 2022 regular season.Nelson added three solo stops across 60 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Cowboys. The fourth-year linebacker turned in career-best tackle, sack and forced fumble totals while playing a career-high 604 snaps on defense. While Nelson is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in mid-March, the 2019 fourth-round pick could certainly prove to be a more cost-effective alternative for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers than fellow free agent Lavonte David.
