The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, but they have another game against the Atlanta Falcons to play — and soon.

The Bucs will play the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football on Oct. 3, and in doing so, they'll be dealing with quite a few injuries. That's always the case for a team getting ready to play on Thursday, and as it turns out, the Buccaneers are no exception. It was a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the injury report is just an estimation, but there were seven Bucs players who were labeled as non-participants on the report, including star wide receiver Mike Evans.

Evans was listed as a non-participant due to a knee and calf injury. He and William Gholston showed up on the report after coming out of Sunday's game without a previously understood injury, as Gholston showed up with a knee injury on the report.

Everyone else has had something going on already. Linebacker SirVocea Dennis suffered a shoulder injury against the Eagles, wideouts Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer had a hamstring injury and a concussion going into Monday, respectively, and both Antoine Winfield Jr. and Calijah Kancey have had lingering foot and calf injuries, respectively.

There were quite a few limited participants (including Luke Goedeke, still trying to get out of concussion protocol). It's a short week, though, so a lot of players will be injured, and the Bucs will do their best to preserve health before playing the Falcons on Sunday.
