Multiple Buccaneers Defensive Starters Are On Track To Play Against Eagles

The Buccaneers would love to have their two starters available on Monday night against the Eagles.

The Buccaneers have a huge matchup on Monday Night Football as they are hosting the reigning NFC Champion Eagles at Raymond James.

Carlton Davis, Vita Vea, and Ryan Neal were all limited on Thursday's practice and were all active participants in drills at the beginning of Friday's practice. 

Davis was inactive for the Buccaneers' home opener against the Bears on Sunday dealing with a toe injury and seems to be on track to be ready for Monday Night.

Both Neal and Vea are also on track to play against the Eagles as they participated in both practices and were in team drills to start practice on Friday.

Calijah Kancey did not participate in practice on Thursday and Friday and will likely be inactive on Monday Night versus the Eagles.

Kancey has been dealing with a calf injury since training camp that caused him to miss the entire pre-season. He returned for Week 1 against the Vikings but left the game early and has not played or practiced since then.

Buccaneers LB SirVocea Dennis has not practiced this week as well, the expectation is that Kancey and Dennis will not be active for Monday Night. 

Even with Kancey out it is key for the Buccaneers to have the other defensive starters ready to go.
