Preparations continue at one Bucs Drive as our Buccaneers prepare to face the Chiefs. Tampa is trying to extend their winning streak to two games and make it back to the .500 mark.
Kansas City enters this one with a 7-2 mark, tied for the lead in the AFC West. Alex Smith is one of the more accurate passers in the league, which makes it a tough test for a shaky Bucs defense.
Tampa Bay is getting healthier by the day, however.
Take a look:
Player | No. | Pos. | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday |
Joe Hawley | 68 | C | Knee | Limited Participation | Full Participation |
Kevin Pamphile | 64 | G | Concussion | Full Participation | Full Participation |
Jacquizz Rodgers | 32 | RB | Foot | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate |
Russell Shepard | 89 | WR | Hip | Full Participation | Full Participation |
Evan Smith | 62 | C | Knee | Did Not Participate | Did Not Participate |
Luke Stocker | 88 | TE | Ankle | Did Not Participate | Limited Participation |
How about that for a good report? Even Stocker got back to work today. It looks more and more like the Bucs will be all systems go on Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead. There might be no Smith, but Hawley is the starter. Just don’t get hurt again, Joe.
Here is the report for the Chiefs:

It looks better than yesterday, but let’s not get too excited yet.
Next: Crucial Weeks Ahead for Donovan Smith
Hali is still out, which is good. Yes, Houston went from being full to limited. But, that might not mean he will be out on Sunday. They could just be limiting his workload during the week so he won’t overdo it before Sunday. The odds are decent he will play, but on a pitch count.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s report with the official game statuses.
