Bucs Nation’s gameday thread for the big game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in Detroit and set to take on the Lions hoping to jump start their 2024 season with two wins in as many games.

Tampa Bay announced Saturday that starting cornerback Zyon McCollum will start today after clearing the concussion protocol. Others, however, will miss the game including safety Antoine Winfield, Jr., defensive linemen Logan Hall and Calijah Kancey, and offensive lineman Luke Goedeke. You can see the rest of today’s inactives below.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM EST. Enjoy each other’s company in the comments section!...

You’d think a convincing win to open the season would boost the confidence level of the Bucs fan base, but that is not the case.

This week’s poll number shows the Buccaneers fans are 15-percent less confident ahead of the team’s matchup in Detroit against a Lions team that knocked them out of...

The team also elevate two from the practice squad.

The Tampa Bay got some relief from the injury front in their secondary Saturday ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Cornerback Zyon McCollum, who exited last week’s game early due to a concussion, has been cleared to start Sunday in Detroit. McCollum was in the concussion protocol all week in practice but was a full participant in Thursday and Friday sessions.

Tampa Bay also announced they have elevated defensive linemen C.J. Brewer and Mike Greene from their practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against...

We brought a little help to breakdown this weekend’s matchup

The Buccaneers are set to take on the Detroit Lions in Detroit for their first road game of the season and it is a huge test. This is a matchup of two 1-0 teams and two teams that have a history with each other, unfortunately the Lions have won the last two including ending the Bucs season in the divisional round of last year’s playoffs.

To help break down this matchup even further, we caught up with Ryan Mathews of Pride of Detroit and we got a closer look as...

Key players to miss Week 2.

The Buccaneers are entering the second week of the regular season with even more questions on their roster due to injuries in an already crucial matchup against the Lions in Detroit.

The Bucs released their final injury report heading into Sunday’s game against Detroit and on it are four starters out: left tackle Luke Goedeke (concussion), defensive back Josh Hayes (ankle), defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (calf), and safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. (foot). We’ve known about the situation around the latter two so this week’s loss of Kancey and Winfield are no surprises. But it...

Predictions

Gil Arcia: Cause confusion

Offensive coordinator Liam Coen did an incredible job last week with the Buccaneers offense to call in plays that had...

Tampa will head to Detroit this Sunday for a week two matchup against the Lions.

The rematch. Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were projected to be a bottom-feeding NFL franchise. Baker Mayfield was a barely a bridge quarterback, Todd Bowles, without Tom Brady, would no doubt prove to be deficient— The former New York Jets' coach had already proven what he was without a Hall of Fame quarterback. There was even a contingent of Tampa Bay fans who took a pro-tank vantage point, starting the season actively hoping Baker Mayfield would lead the team to its quarterback of the...

Bucs Nation’s thread for TNF.

The Buffalo Bills will be taking on the Miami Dolphins tonight for some Thursday Night Football action. The Dolphins are favored over the Bills tonight at home by 2.5 points with an over/under set to 48.5. You can see all of the odds and props for tonight’s game at FanDuel Sportsbook.

PICK

The Bills will beat the Dolphins tonight. There wasn’t much from a Miami standpoint where they proved last week in their opener that they can be dominant in the AFC East. Buffalo also had a slow start last week but showed they can...

Hits just keep on coming.

The injury bug has picked a bad time to infiltrate the walls of the Buccaneers training facility. Not only is the timing of the injuries horrible, but it’s hitting multiple players at once.

Tampa Bay released its first injury report ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Lions in Detroit. On it was right tackle Luke Goedeke who was limited with a concussion and veteran defensive lineman Will Gholston his dealing with a foot injury. A thinned out secondary is still without Zyon McCollum who was limited in practice as he is still in...
