Some notes
- Two players who missed the initial practice of the week on Thursday — offensive lineman Ethan Driskell (illness) and cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (concussion) — returned to practice on Friday. Driskell was a full participant, while Johnson was limited.
- Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) continues to be held out, and it’s likely he won’t return this week to play the Buccaneers.
- Defensive end Mike Danna (pectoral), who missed the last two games, was limited for the second straight day. Running back Kareem Hunt (quad) was upgraded to a full participant after being limited on Thursday.
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) appeared on the report but was a full participant, as were cornerback Trent McDuffie (knee), defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (triceps) and linebacker Drue Tranquill (chest).
- Nnadi has remained on the injury report since the start of the season. Hunt was listed last week due to a hip injury. This week, it is his quad.
- For the Buccaneers, wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice, and it is not expected that he will be available for this game.
- Running back Bucky Irving (toe) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) also did not practice for the second straight day. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said that Irving will be working through his toe injury all season. Their final statuses on Saturday are notable.
- Linebacker Lavonte David (ankle/chest) also did not practice for the second straight day, and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) was added to the report as a limited participant.
