The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be looking to prove that 2023 was no fluke this season. Tampa Bay went 9-8 last season, were NFC South Champions, and knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round of the playoffs.
However, starting the season off on the right foot just got a little tougher.

According to Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk:
The Buccaneers won’t have another one of their key defensive players in Week 1.
With Logan Hall already ruled out with a foot injury, fellow defensive lineman Calijah Kancey has been downgraded to out with a calf injury.
Kancey was added to the report on Friday as a limited participant in practice. He was initially questionable.
Receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) remains questionable.
Tampa Bay also announced the team has elevated defensive linemen C.J. Brewer and Mike Greene from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday.
Ben Stille, a second-year player from Arizona’s practice squad, was signed by the Buccaneers at the end of the week. Even so, the Bucs were forced to utilize two of their elevation options right from the start of the season due to the rapid succession of injuries along the defensive line.
Going up against Jayden Daniels, a very mobile quarterback, Tampa Bay’s defense will be tested early and often.
