| News for Egbuka, Emeka |

Emeka Egbuka (foot) did not practice Wednesday. 2026-11-04 14:00:02 Egbuka missed Week 7 with a concussion and a foot injury. He cleared the league’s concussion protocol last week, but the foot issue kept him on ice. A DNP today suggests he will miss another week. However, head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Egbuka worked off to the side today. The team will see how he feels tomorrow. That leaves the door open for him to play, but fantasy managers should at least have backup options in place. If he does suit up, Egbuka would be a high-risk WR3 versus Chicago. |

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Emeka Egbuka (foot) will not play in Week 8 against the Falcons. 2026-10-30 13:00:02 Bowles said Egbuka did clear concussion protocol, but the foot injury he has been dealing with for the last two weeks will officially sideline him for this week’s game against the Falcons. Hopefully this isn’t any kind of a major setback for Egbuka, who shed his non-contact jersey in Thursday’s practice and was limited in the first two practices to start the week. Ted Hurst will again operate as the Buccaneers’ primary outside target but shouldn’t be trusted as anything more than a risky WR4. |

Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) was not spotted at Friday’s practice. 2026-10-30 12:00:02 After being limited in back-to-back practices to start the week, and shedding his non-contact jersey on Thursday, Egbuka being a DNP on Friday is a notable setback. Buccaneers beat writer Greg Auman speculated that Egbuka will “be ruled out again” for Week 8’s game against the Falcons, but we’ll wait for official word from the team before drawing conclusions. That said, the Bucs could again have Ted Hurst operating as their primary outside threat. |

The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) shed his non-contact jersey for Thursday’s practice. 2026-10-29 13:00:02 There’s a good chance Egbuka has been upgraded to a full participant in practice, meaning he is making his way through the league’s concussion protocol. He remains on track to play this week after missing Week 7. With Baker Mayfield back under center, Egbuka may be able to turn around his season after a rather quiet start to the year. He is in the WR2 mix for Week 8 versus the Falcons. |

Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. 2026-10-28 17:00:02 Egbuka logged one limited practice on Friday last week but was ruled out shortly after. It looks like he is trending in the right direction for Week 8, but the Bucs’ next two injury reports will be more revealing. Assuming all goes well, Egbuka should be back in the WR2 ranks with Baker Mayfield under center and playing well in Tampa Bay’s Week 7 demolition of the Panthers. |
