Tampa Bay Buccaneers Injury History & Analysis

The Bucs have ruled out Edge Rueben Bain Jr. (groin) and LB Josiah Trotter (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Vikings. That'll damage a defense that struggled even with them involved in a Week 2 loss to the Browns. Bain missed practice all week and was already playing through a shoulder sprain he suffered in August joint practices with the Jaguars. We'll see about his status for Week 4. Trotter returned for a limited Friday after sitting out the first two days. He returned to finish out the Week 2 game after sustaining his injury. SirVocea Dennis looks like the next guy up but shouldn't be in play for most IDP leagues.

Buccaneers DT Calijah Kancey tore his left pectoral muscle in Monday night's win over Houston, according to multiple reports. He'll have surgery Friday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, and miss the rest of the season.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. missed practice Wednesday with what HC Todd Bowles called a "lower leg issue," according to Scott Smith of the team website.
