TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS QUOTE SHEET 10-2-24
HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On if T Luke Goedeke will play on Thursday)
"He'll be out."
(On who else will be out on Thursday)
"[Calijah] Kancey, [Antoine] Winfield Jr., Luke [Goedeke], [Trey] Palmer, and [Jalen] McMillan."
(On if the short week is more difficult without any players returning from injury)
"No, we knew we had a Thursday [game]. I'm sure it makes it harder for the guys that want to play that could've played if it was probably Sunday – a couple of… maybe two of them. We'll go with what we have. We've been going with what we have. We have guys that stepped up. They have to step up again."
(On what makes Atlanta WR Drake London such a challenge)
"[It's] not just him, it's all of them. He has great size, he has speed, he has an outstanding catch radius and he's tough. He fights for the ball."
(On if DL Calijah Kancey had any setbacks during this injury recovery)
"No, he didn't have any setbacks. He was coming along fine. We'll see… if it was Sunday, he might've had a shot."
(On if DL Calijah Kancey and S Antoine Winfield Jr. would potentially be back in Week 6)
"[Calijah] has a chance. I didn't say [anything] about 'Win' (Antoine Winfield Jr.)."
(On if he will elevate a wide receiver from the practice squad)
"We've talked about it. We have a few people that we may elevate. It's a battle of positions right now."
(On if he feels good about Tampa Bay's preparation in the short week)
"Yeah, I do. It's a Thursday game, we knew that at the beginning of the season."
(On if P Trenton Gill will be punting on Thursday)
"It goes back to who we have to activate and who we don't, so he's in that discussion as well."
(On what he's seen from LB Antonio Grier Jr.)
"The mental part of the game has come around for him. He's really sharp that way. He's gotten a lot better in practice and we trust him with the calls."
