Buccaneers Ready for Week One | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Tampa Bay’s season opener just got a lot brighter: Emeka Egbuka’s return from a toe sprain puts their top offensive weapon back in the fold, ready to stretch the field against Cincinnati’s stout defense. With Mike Evans sidelined, Egbuka’s 900+ yards and six TDs last year make his presence crucial. Jalen McMillan’s comeback from a knee injury could complete their starting trio — though Sean Tucker’s status remains uncertain. And don’t forget Baker Mayfield, now locked in with a historic $165M extension after a stellar 2025 campaign. The Bucs are suddenly looking far more stable as kickoff nears.
