Simmons recorded seven tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

Simmons has accumulated 8.0 sacks through 11 games, leading the Titans in the category and sitting just 0.5 sacks behind his career high. The 28-year-old defensive tackle is in the second year of a four-year, $94 million extension that he signed back in April of 2023, providing a strong value at his position on the rebuilding team.

Hufanga recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-17 win at Las Vegas.

Hufanga only had to play 44 defensive snaps in Week 14, contributing to a depressed tackle total compared to recent weeks. With 94 tackles through 13 games, he's now on the doorstep of the first 100-plus tackle season of his career and he should get plenty of opportunities in a matchup versus a run-first Packers offense in Week 15.

Reddick (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Reddick sustained an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday. Reddick was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice report, but his ability to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough has him trending in the right direction. His practice participation in Wednesday's session will provide clarity on his status ahead of Thursday's game against the Falcons.

McMillan (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

McMillan is inching his way toward making his 2025 debut after starting the year on injured reserve due to a neck injury. The Buccaneers will have a normal practice Wednesday, and McMillan's participation in that session will provide clarity on whether he'll be able to play Thursday against Atlanta.

Wisdom (quadriceps) was a full participant during Tampa Bay's walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Wisdom was unable to return from his extended absence with a quad injury in Week 14 versus the Saints, but it appears he might have a good chance to do so in Week 15. If he practices in full Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Buccaneers activate him from their injured reserve list ahead of Thursday's game versus the Falcons.

Wirfs (oblique) was a limited participant during Tampa Bay's walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Wirfs sat out Sunday's game versus the Saints with an oblique injury, and on a short week, he's now in jeopardy of missing a second straight contest. He still has one opportunity to log a full practice before the Buccaneers release their final practice report of the week Wednesday.

Smith (neck/shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Smith injured his neck and shoulder during the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He's opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and if he were to miss Wednesday's practice, he would likely be ruled out for Thursday night's NFC South clash against the Falcons. Christian Izien (neck) would be slated to start at safety if Smith is not cleared to play.

Izien (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Izien didn't participate in Monday's walkthrough practice due to a neck injury, but he was cleared to work in at least a limited capacity during Tuesday's session. He would avoid an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Falcons if he were to log a full practice Wednesday. If Izien is cleared to play, he would likely start at safety alongside Antoine Winfield if Tykee Smith (neck/shoulder) is unable to suit up.

Pride signed with the Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Pride played two games for the Cowboys last season and recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pass breakup over 56 defensive snaps. He'll provide some depth to the banged-up Colts secondary as they make their playoff push.

Lindstrom (foot) was a listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lindstrom suffered this injury back in Week 9 but has yet to miss a game. Barring a setback, he should start at right guard Thursday versus the Buccaneers.
