    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Team-high yardage in loss

    Emeka Egbuka brought in five of six targets for 63 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 33-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.The second-year wideout led the way for the Buccaneers in receiving yards while checking in second in both receptions and targets on the afternoon. Egbuka didn't show any ill effects from the toe injury he'd previously been dealing with this summer, and his first game as the new No. 1 receiver in the wake of Mike Evans' offseason departure was encouraging overall, especially considering Baker Mayfield struggled through an uneven, turnover-filled afternoon. Egbuka will have a bright outlook in all fantasy formats for a Week 2 home matchup against a Browns defense that was exposed repeatedly by Jaguars wide receivers in Week 1.

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Full-go for Week 1

    Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Emeka 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 Tampa Bay 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.

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Looks to be practicing fully Wednesday

    Emeka 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.

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Works on side field Wednesday

    Emeka Egbuka (toe) worked on a side field with trainers Wednesday and ran without any obvious issues from the injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.Egbuka has missed a ton of practice time this summer and didn't see any preseason action. However, it sounds like he's nearing 100 percent ahead of the Bucs' Week 1 game against the Bengals in 11 days. Seeing him return to full practices next week would be a positive development. Egbuka is expected to be a big beneficiary of Mike Evans' departure over the offseason, as he'll have a chance to establish himself as the Bucs' clear WR1 ahead of veteran Chris Godwin.

    Emeka Egbuka (toe) continues to rest and recover with the goal of being ready for Week 1, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.Egbuka, per the report, made the trip to Jacksonville with his teammates for Friday's preseason finale, but he will not suit up and will instead keep working on his recovery from the toe injury he sustained a little over two weeks ago.

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Remains sidelined by toe issue

    Emeka Egbuka (toe) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.Egbuka has been managing a sprained toe since Aug. 12, when the injury forced him out of practice. Almost two weeks later, the wideout has yet to return to team drills, with head coach Todd Bowles having previously described him as both "day-to-day" and "week-to-week." Egbuka looks safe to rule out for Friday's preseason finale versus the Jaguars, and his availability for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup with the Bengals will be murky until he's able to return to full practice.
