Questionable status for WR Emeka Egbuka; Chris Godwin, Tristan Wirfs ruled out against Jets in Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Rookie Wide Receiver Emeka Egbuka Set to Play Against New York Jets
Emeka Egbuka, the 19th overall pick in April's draft, is set to make a significant contribution to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers once again, as he is active for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Despite being listed as questionable by head coach Todd Bowles, Egbuka has been practicing with the team this week and is expected to continue making impressive plays.
Egbuka, who made an immediate impact in his NFL debut with two touchdown passes, has so far accumulated eight catches for 96 yards in the Buccaneers' first two games. His impressive performances have earned him a spot in the starting lineup, and fans are eager to see what he can do against the Jets.
However, the Buccaneers will be missing two key players for Sunday's game. Left tackle Tristan Wirfs and wide receiver Chris Godwin are both not playing due to injuries. Godwin, who is working his way back from a dislocated ankle, practiced on Friday, but it seems he will not be ready in time for Sunday's game. Wirfs, who is targeting a return in Week 4, is still recovering from an undisclosed injury and will not be available.
Despite these absences, the Buccaneers are in good form, having improved to 2-0 after their Monday night game at Houston. With Egbuka's talent and determination, they will be hoping to extend their winning streak against the Jets.
Meanwhile, Jalen McMillan, another wide receiver for the Buccaneers, is currently on short-term injured reserve. McMillan had a strong finish to the 2024 season, exploding for 24 receptions and seven touchdown catches in the final five games. His absence will be felt, but the team will be looking to other players to step up and fill the gap.
As the Buccaneers take on the Jets, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Egbuka can continue his impressive form. With his ability to make impressive catches and score touchdowns, he is certainly a player to watch in the NFL.
