Egbuka Injury Rattles Bucs Season Opener | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Tampa Bay’s season opener just got a lot more uncertain—star rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka, their top offensive weapon last year, is sidelined with a toe sprain and listed as “day-to-day, week-to-week.” Coach Todd Bowles admits he’s not sure Egbuka will be ready for Week 1 against the Bengals, a team that drafted right before him. With Egbuka averaging over 150 yards per game last season and starting alongside Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan, his absence could shake up the Bucs’ offense. The Bengals, who took a defensive end in the same draft, now get a chance to exploit this potential hole. Fans will have to wait and see how the injury progresses—and how the Bucs adapt without their breakout rookie. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
