Covering the NFL for @FOXsports. On Bucs since 2013, previously @TheAthleticNFL, @TBTimes_Sports. New weekly podcast at @BucsHMA. email at [email protected].
So if the QB uncertainty wasn't enough, the Bucs practiced today without their leading rusher (illness), their leading receiver (concussion/foot), their starting right tackle (calf) and a starting corner (illness).
First injury report for Bucs and Panthers shows Baker Mayfield as a full participant. Five Bucs are dealing with illness. Emeka Egbuka dealing with concussion and foot injuries, Luke Goedeke has a calf injury.
This is a bad enough look for Maryland athletics that it makes you forget they were the first power conference program to fire their football coach this season.
Kudos to these student journalists, the only true pros involved in this story.
For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.
@Loudhorse19@mrmetaman21 I’ve responded to all of them. The word you’re looking for, I think, is snooty. It’s fairly snooty of me to point that out, but I’m just hoping to get blocked at this point.
Chris Godwin on his limited role in Bucs’ 1-5 start: “It’s definitely been interesting, different than anything I’ve been through in my career … I’m trying to stick to the process and make sure I’m where I need to be.”
@Loudhorse19@GingerRoyalty@cordell________ They posted a video on this thread with all four passes he didn’t catch. One was clearly too high, one was low enough it hit the ground, the other one on the sideline had Dean credited with a breakup on. One drop.
@mswalsh68 Probably needs a good cooling off period. I would take that as a standing offer that might be more likely to be taken down the road after some counseling.
Robert Saleh's statement about Jordan Elliott's release from the team following an attempt to retrieve a gun from his car after a spat with his Titans teammate:

@JeezyInTheHouse He didn’t. As we said then, him having experience with Mayfield and experience calling an offense in the division were factors that helped him.
Chris Godwin has now gone seven straight games without getting 50+ receiving yards -- he hadn't had a stretch of longer than three games like that at any point since the first half of his rookie season in 2017. And he played with Evans-Gronk-Antonio Brown for two years.
