Two days after a Monday night win in Houston, standout Tampa Bay rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka did not practice on Wednesday.
Egbuka, who had not previously been on the injury report, was listed as a non-participant due to hip and groin injuries in the team’s first practice after improving to 2-0.
The 19th overall pick in this year’s draft, Egbuka has made an immediate impact for the Buccaneers. After catching two touchdown passes in his Week 1 debut, he snagged another in Monday’s win. He has eight catches for 96 yards in his first two games.
The Buccaneers receiver room is already a bit thin, with Chris Godwin still working his way back from the dislocated ankle that ended his 2024 season last October.
In better news for Tampa, quarterback Baker Mayfield was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice despite foot/toe issues. There had been reports that Mayfield may miss some practice time this week after getting beat up a bit in Monday’s game.
Tampa Bay looks to improve to 3-0 at home Sunday vs. the New York Jets (0-2).
