Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Limited participant Thursday
Egbuka (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Though Egbuka was limited again, he shed the non-contact jersey and worked in a normal practice jersey Thursday. He was still dialed back enough to be listed as limited, but he seems to be making progress as Sunday approaches. Egbuka is working back from a concussion and a foot injury after missing Week 7.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Practicing in regular jersey
Egbuka (concussion/foot) is wearing a regular jersey at Thursday's practice, suggesting he has been cleared for contact, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Egbuka was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and it remains to be seen whether he can upgrade to full participation Thursday, but he looks to be trending in the right direction on his quest to clear concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons. The 2025 first-round pick sat out Tampa Bay's Week 7 win over the Panthers, so if Egbuka returns to action Sunday, he would be catching passes from Baker Mayfield in a game for the first time since Week 3.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Officially limited Wednesday
Egbuka (concussion/foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Head coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the team's official site earlier Wednesday that Egbuka participated in individual drills at practice, but the wide receiver will need to increase his activity level Thursday to progress toward a return to action. Egbuka already has missed one game due to a concussion and a foot injury, and he requires clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to play again.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Progressing in recovery
Head coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka (concussion/foot) took part in individual drills Wednesday, but the wide receiver will need to do more Thursday to progress toward a return to action, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Egbuka sat out this past Sunday at Carolina due to a concussion and a foot injury, which capped him to just one limited session last week (Friday). It appears as if he'll go down as limited again this Wednesday, especially considering he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. In the end, Egbuka will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to be eligible to play in an actual game.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Practicing in non-contact jersey
Egbuka (concussion/foot) was on the field for the start of Wednesday's practice and was donning a non-contact jersey, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Egbuka missed his first game of the season in last Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers, but he was able to upgrade to limited practice participation at the end of the week after being held out of the first two sessions. The wideout looks poised to practice again Wednesday as a limited participant, but he'll need to take full contact and get cleared by an independent neurologist before being removed from the five-step concussion protocol.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Egbuka (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka was doubtful to play, but the official designation is more definitive. Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson figure to take most of the WR snaps this Sunday at Carolina.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Doubtful for Week 7
Egbuka (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Egbuka is still working his way through the league's concussion protocol, so Tampa Bay appears set to head into Week 7 with Chris Godwin, rookie Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson leading the wideout corps. Cade Otton could also see a bump in targets with Egbuka out of the picture.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Practicing Friday
Egbuka (concussion/foot) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Egbuka didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but there is still some chance he quickly makes his way through concussion protocol. The toe injury seems like less of a threat to his Week 7 availability this Sunday against Carolina.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Officially non-participant Thursday
Egbuka (concussion/foot) was deemed a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Egbuka is fighting an uphill battle ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers after being unable to log any practice activity Wednesday or Thursday. The 2025 first-round pick was spotted working with trainers on a side field Thursday as he works his way through the concussion protocol. Egbuka would need to clear the protocol to suit up Sunday, and a foot injury further complicates his path to playing.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Working on side Thursday
Egbuka (concussion/foot) was working on the side with a trainer at Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
After sitting out Wednesday's practice, Egbuka was spotted Thursday but it remains to be seen whether or not he will be credited with any official level of practice participation. He'll need to log a full practice Friday to have a chance to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game against the Panthers, and Egbuka is also nursing a foot injury to further complicate his path to availability.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Misses Wednesday's practice
Egbuka (concussion/foot) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Egbuka is being listed with a concussion and foot injury. At least in the short term, he'll be subject to the protocol for head injuries before he'll be able to suit up again, so how he progresses in practice, if at all, as the week goes on may provide a sense of his chances to suit up Sunday at Carolina.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Finds end zone in OT loss
Egbuka caught seven of 16 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.
It was the first time this season that Egbuka got double-digit targets, but the volume didn't turn into a whole lot of production aside from a two-yard TD in the second quarter. Egbuka still set a new season high in receptions, and he remains the first look for rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels while he fills in for Baker Mayfield (thumb). Egbuka will take a 28-240-2 line on 49 targets into a Week 7 clash with the Panthers.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Seven touches, one TD in win
Egbuka secured six of nine targets for 38 yards and rushed once for a 14-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Egbuka comfortably led the Buccaneers in receptions and targets, but his receiving yardage figure was a distant second to Tez Johnson. Egbuka did round out his fantasy night nicely with the first rushing touchdown of his career, which came on a jet sweep from 14 yards out to cap off the first drive of the second half. The increase in chemistry between Egbuka and Jalon Daniels in the latter's second start was encouraging from a fantasy perspective, and they'll have additional time to continue building rapport before a Week 6 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18.
