The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be in trouble defensively when they go to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
The team had its first practice for Week 12, which was simply a walkthrough without pads, helmets, and jerseys — the team mostly wore t-shirts and didn’t do much in the allotted media time. As such, this report is an estimation, but it’s a grim one nonetheless. Linebacker Lavonte David, cornerback Jamel Dean and LB Devin White were all listed as non-participants, while cornerback Carlton Davis, wideout Chris Godwin and center Robert Hainsey were limited participants. If those three defensive players weren’t able to play, Tampa Bay’s defensive unit would be crippled significantly heading into the weekend.
Here’s what the first Week 12 injury report looks like:
Meanwhile, the Colts are having problems of their own. The team doesn’t have a lot of players on the injury report, but CB Juju Brents, tight end Drew Ogletree and linebacker Grant Stuard all did not participate in Colts practice on Wednesday.
