Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Agrees to new contract with Bucs
Tucker agreed to a one-year contract Sunday with $2.5 million guaranteed to remain with the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Tucker had been due $3.52 million on a restricted free-agent tender. With a new deal in place, Tucker is set to remain part of a Buccaneers backfield that also includes Bucky Irving and offseason addition Kenny Gainwell. Tucker led the team with seven rushing touchdowns during the 2025 regular season.

Buccaneers' Jalon Daniels: Wins backup QB job
Daniels is moving forward as Tampa Bay's backup quarterback behind Baker Mayfield after impressing throughout training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After entering camp as an undrafted rookie in a crowded quarterback room, Daniels appears to have climbed into the No. 2 role behind Mayfield. The decision gives him clear roster security and places him next in line if Tampa Bay needs a backup to step into game action. Daniels won the job after a strong preseason during which he completed 27 of 44 passes for 239 yards and a touchdown without being picked off.

Buccaneers' Mohamed Kamara: Has knee sprain
Kamara (knee) will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara suffered a knee injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars. Once the MRI comes back, the team will likely make a decision on whether or not Kamara will have a shot to return this season, or if he will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Undergoes minor knee procedure
Hayes (knee) underwent a procedure Saturday that will sideline him for the start of the 2026 regular season, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Hayes is a prime candidate to start the season on injured reserve. A cutdown day move to IR would see the cornerback sidelined for at least the first four games of the regular season. In Hayes' absence, another cornerback such as Damarion Williams may see an increased number of special teams snaps.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Optimism for Week 1
Head coach Todd Bowles said Saturday that he expects McMillan (knee) to be available for the Buccaneers' Week 1 clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 13, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
McMillan has been recovering from a knee injury he sustained in early August, which has limited his reps in training camp practices and prevented him from playing in each of the Buccaneers' three preseason games. There's optimism that the third-year wideout will not miss regular-season action, but his practice participation over the next two weeks will provide more clarity on his status for Week 1. With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, McMillan is projected to be Tampa Bay's WR3 this season behind Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka (toe), with Tez Johnson and rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst also in the mix for snaps on offense.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: 'Hopeful' for Week 1
Egbuka (toe), per head coach Todd Bowles, will "hopefully" be ready for Week 1, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Egbuka continues working his way back from the toe injury he sustained earlier this month, and while the door is open for him to take the field in Tampa Bay's season opener, Bowles is not yet sure if he will do so. Further updates on Egbuka's status will come, but perhaps not officially until the Buccaneers begin to release injury reports.

Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: One catch to close preseason
Johnson secured one of three targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 19-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday.
Johnson recorded his one catch on his initial target of the night, which came with 5:47 remaining in the first quarter on the Buccaneers' second possession. Friday's action was the first of the preseason for the 2025 seventh-round pick, who'd missed the first two exhibitions due to an Aug. 4 groin strain. Johnson outperformed his draft slotting as a rookie with a 28-322-5 line over 16 regular-season games a year ago, and he should have a good chance of reprising a depth receiver role to open the 2026 season.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Six touches to close out preseason
Tucker rushed five times for 15 yards and secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 19-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday.
Tucker closed out a relatively non-descript preseason with Friday's showing, although it began in promising fashion courtesy of an eight-yard run on Tampa Bay's first play from scrimmage. Tucker almost certainly has the No. 3 running back job sewn up, but he may have an uphill battle for consistent week-to-week touches as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy in front of him.

Buccaneers' Mohamed Kamara: Suffers knee injury
Kamara (knee) is believed to have suffered an injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara picked up the injury at some point during Friday's contest. It is unclear how long the linebacker will need to miss due to the issue. Kamara was on the roster bubble as it is, and if the injury is significant, he will likely be placed on season-ending injured reserve prior to Sunday's cutdown day.

Buccaneers' Jalon Daniels: Modest performance in preseason finale
Daniels completed eight of 15 passes for 57 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 19-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday. He also lost a fumble.
The undrafted rookie had made a strong impression over his first two preseason games, completing 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 rushes for 28 yards and another score. That played a part in Daniels earning the start in Friday's exhibition finale, but the Kansas product wasn't anywhere near as smooth. Daniels played through the first possession of the third quarter and helmed only one drive of greater than 17 yards, including one in the second quarter where he lost a fumble on the first play. Daniels is battling Connor Bazelak for the No. 3 quarterback role, and it remains to be seen how Friday's uneven performance ultimately affects that competition.

Buccaneers' Keionte Scott: Suffers knee injury
Scott (knee) suffered an injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Scott is believed to have a knee injury, but it is unclear how long the cornerback will be absent. The fourth-round rookie is set to play a key depth role for the Buccaneers' secondary throughout the 2026 season.

Buccaneers' Xavier Williams: Questionable with hip injury
Williams (hip) is questionable to return to Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Williams remained on the sideline, but the team is unsure if he will return to Friday's contest. The undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati is currently battling to survive Sunday's cutdown day, and the remainder of Friday's game will be the rookie's last chance to impress.

Buccaneers' Jalon Daniels: Starting preseason Week 3
Daniels will start and likely play the entire first half of Friday's preseason game at Jacksonville, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
With Baker Mayfield taking a seat for preseason Week 3, Daniels will be the first QB up for the Buccaneers, followed by Jake Browning and Connor Bazelak. This appears to be an open competition for the direct back role to Mayfield, and Daniels, an undrafted rookie, so far has completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing 10 times for 28 yards and one more TD through two exhibitions.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Focus remains on Week 1
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. It's not yet known when Egbuka will be back on the field, so his availability remains up in the air in advance of his team's season-opening matchup with the Bengals on Sept. 13.

Buccaneers' Dennis Houston: Reverts to IR
Houston (groin) reverted to the Buccaneers' injured-reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The wide receiver was waived/injured by the Bucs on Wednesday. Houston will now need to reach an injury settlement with Tampa Bay to have a chance to play this season. His last NFL regular-season action came in 2022 with Dallas.
