Another Buccaneers season is coming to a close. Though it is likely to end without a playoff berth, we learned that we have a team on the rise in Tampa. The defense at its best shuts down even the league’s best, and the offense is growing by the minute.
As Bucs fans, there is a lot to be thankful for as we head into 2017.
However, before we say goodbye to another season, we have one more game to play. The Bucs can secure an over .500 season with a win over the rival Panthers on Sunday. We all want to see the season end on a high note, and they can make that happen on Sunday afternoon at Ray Jay.
So let’s get to the injuries. FIrst, for the Bucs:
| Player | No. | Pos. | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Game Status |
| William Gholston | 92 | DE | Elbow | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Out |
| Gosder Cherilus | 78 | T | Groin/Ankle | Limited Participation | Limited Participation | Full Participation | Questionable |
| Vernon Hargreaves | 28 | CB | Abdomen | – | Limited Participation | Limited Participation | Questionable |
| Demar Dotson | 69 | T | Concussion | Full Participation | Full Participation | Full Participation | – |
We noted in the headline about Gholston, but the other man to watch is Hargreaves. He was limited once again this afternoon so we shall see if he is able to go on Sunday.
Now the list for the Panthers:
| Player | No. | Pos. | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Game Status |
| Derek Anderson | 3 | QB | Illness | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Out |
| Charles Johnson | 95 | DE | Foot | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Out |
| Cam Newton | 1 | QB | Right Shoulder | Limited Participation | Limited Participation | Full Participation | Questionable |
| Greg Olsen | 88 | TE | Elbow | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Full Participation | Questionable |
| Jonathan Stewart | 28 | RB | Foot | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate | Full Participation | Questionable |
| Mario Addison | 97 | DE | Foot | Limited Participation | Full Participation | Full Participation | – |
| Graham Gano | 9 | K | Left Ankle | Full Participation | Full Participation | Full Participation | – |
Sorry gang, looks like Newton and Olsen are both expected to play. The Bucs are going to have to work hard for that ninth win.
