The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released their weekly injury report, and Gerald McCoy is listed as questionable despite dealing with a broken hand.
The Bucs' best player and face of the franchise injured his hand against the Rams and was unable to continue, but has practiced this week and is listed as "questionable," which means there is a 50/50 shot of him playing.
Here are the full injury reports for both teams.
Tampa Bay
| Player | Pos. | Injury | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Da'Quan Bowers | DL | Abdomen | Probable |
| Evan Dietrich-Smith | C | Back | Probable |
| Demar Dotson | T | Hamstring | Probable |
| Mason Foster | LB | Shoulder | Out |
| William Gholston | DE | Shoulder | Probable |
| Michael Johnson | DE | Ankle | Questionable |
| Logan Mankins | G | Knee | Probable |
| Doug Martin | RB | Knee | Questionable |
| Gerald McCoy | DT | Hand | Questionable |
| Bradley McDougald | S | Knee | Probable |
| Austin Seferian-Jenkins | TE | Ankle | Out |
The list of injured players for the Buccaneers is long, but only a few names stand out as noteworthy. All of the probably players should suit up this week, but those at questionable or worse are in doubt for Thursday night's game.
Obviously Gerald McCoy's status will have a major impact on how the Buccaneers perform against Atlanta, as getting pressure on Matt Ryan will be the most important task for the Bucs defense. If McCoy is truly a game-time decision, it will be interesting to see how effective he is with a broken hand.
Mason Foster and Austin Seferian-Jenkins are out, as the former Washington standouts were unable to practice this week, and may still be out longer than just this week. Foster's shoulder injury could keep him out for a while, and Seferian-Jenkins' "ankle" injury seems to be a high ankle sprain, which could keep him out for a couple more weeks.
Doug Martin and Michael Johnson are the other noteworthy names on the list, as both were injured during Week 1, missed Week 2, and returned to practice for a short week leading up to the Atlanta game. It's assumed that both will play, but don't be surprised if one or both is ruled out against Atlanta. Obviously it would be easier for the Bucs to replace Martin, as Bobby Rainey did a great job in his stead this week, so I would say there's a good chance Martin doesn't go against Atlanta.
Atlanta
| Player | Pos. | Injury | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Julio Jones | WR | Ankle | Probable |
| Jake Matthews | T | Ankle | Probable |
| Prince Shembo | LB | Knee | Probable |
| Roddy White | WR | Hamstring | Questionable |
Not much to see here, as the Falcons are pretty healthy all around. Roddy White's injury is the only concern, and he has played in the past without practicing, so his questionable status is an honest assessment of his availability for this weekend. The Bucs would be grateful if White were unable to go on Thursday night.
