"TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Friday that star rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is questionable for Sunday's home opener hosting the New York Jets. Egbuka, the Bucs' 19th overall draft pick who is tied for a league-leading three touchdown catches in two games, missed two days of practice this week. He returned to practice Friday but was limited, Bowles said. "He's questionable right now," Bowles said. "We'll see Sunday morning. We gotta see how he's feeling after today.""
""You are not always getting those first-team reps, but you just have to know your assignment -- know what you are doing -- and you have to be ready to go at any point at any time in the game, so you just have to be ready," Miller said of the injury situation."
"In addition to starting right guard Cody Mauch and starting right tackle Luke Goedeke going to injured reserve, right guard Michael Jordan, has a what Bowles' described as a "sore knee" and has not practiced during the portion of practice open to the media this week. Jordan has been a practice squad callup the last two weeks and therefore has not been present on the team's official daily injury reports. "He's got a sore knee right now, so we're getting some tests run to see where he's at," Bowles said."
Emeka Egbuka is listed as questionable for Sunday's home opener against the New York Jets after missing two days of practice and returning to limited work on Friday. If Egbuka cannot play, the Buccaneers plan to rely more on Ryan Miller, Sterling Shepard, rookie Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson. Right guard Michael Jordan has a sore knee, did not participate in media-viewable practice, and has been a recent practice-squad callup. Cody Mauch and Luke Goedeke are on injured reserve. Tristan Wirfs and Chris Godwin remain sidelined while recovering from knee and ankle surgeries. Coaches are monitoring tests and player status ahead of Sunday.
