The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers have published their final injury report for Sunday’s game, and both teams will be lacking some key players.
Final Injury Report: 4 Buccaneers Players ” Out” vs 8 Panthers Players ” Questionable”
- The Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled out four players for their game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Cameron Brate, the team’s tight end, will miss his second game in three weeks due to a neck injury.
Sean Murphy-Bunting, a cornerback, will miss his second game in a row due to a quad injury. Receiver Julio Jones (knee) and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (foot) remain out with injuries that have kept them out for the majority of the season.
Defensive backs Carlton Davis (hip) and Mike Edwards (elbow) are both listed as questionable but have participated in practice at some points during the week. Edwards is most likely going to play, which is important, as he has been one of the Bucs most reliable players this season. Guard Shaq Mason (ankle) is also listed as questionable but did practice on Thursday and Friday.

- The Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have not officially ruled out any of their players. Both defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (neck) and quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) are questionable.
Ioannidis didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday, so his chances of playing this weekend are slim. Pat Elflein (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday after not practicing all week.
Also questionable is offensive tackle Taylor Moton (knee), who did not practice on Friday.
