The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be going up against a very depleted Atlanta Falcons team on Sunday. Julio Joneswas placed on injured reserve last week, and now Roddy White will be out against the Buccaneers on Sunday, leaving Harry Douglas as the lone quality wideout on the team. To make matters worse for them, running back Steven Jackson, left tackle Sam Baker and tight end Chase Coffman will all miss the game as well.

Head on over to the Falcoholic for their view of the game.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers themselves have some injury issues, too. Carl Nicks and Jeff Demps will miss some extended time after having had surgery this week. Da'Quan Bowers is questionable with a toe injury, while cornerback Michael Adams was still limited on Friday by a knee injury he's been struggling with for over a month.
To make matters worse, Mike Williams still isn't fully healed from a hamstring injury that's been bugging him for weeks. Greg Schiano noted that Williams' status would depend on his reaction to Friday's practice, in which he participated fully. We'll know more about his participation in the game as we get closer to game time.
