The Buccaneers opened practice for Week 16 early given their Saturday afternoon kickoff against the Lions in Detroit. The first injury report of the week came on Tuesday and revealed just three players on it for the Buccaneers. It was an estimation due to the team holding a walk-though practice instead of full speed in order to allow for more rest.
Cornerback Carlton Davis did not participate after suffering a groin injury against Atlanta. Head Coach Bruce Arians said Davis is getting better and they're hopeful he can keep improving each day. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. was also added to the report after sitting out due to a shoulder injury.
