It’s been a chaotic week for the Bucks, as they evacuated from Tampa to avoid Hurricane Milton on Tuesday and have been practicing at Tulane in New Orleans all week. Tampa Bay is balancing their home woes with trying to win football games, and they could get a big payoff this Sunday against the Saints.
Bucs fans were waiting for a defensive tackle Kariya Kanshi Right tackle Luke Goedeke will make his season debut and return for the first time since Week 1. Their wishes may come true, as Kancie and Goedeke have full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

It’s a big upgrade, especially for Kancy, who hasn’t played in any way since injuring his calf a few days before the season opener. He was seen standing around playing defensive tackle, but did not warm up or stretch. It bodes well for the Bucks to get back to practice right away and work on full practice.
Goedeke has been practicing in recent weeks with varying degrees of participation. Clearing concussion protocol is the final hurdle before he plays Also.
While it’s good news for Kancie and Goedeke, there are other state athletes who did not practice Thursday. Center Graham Barton was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Running back Rathard White was limited to Wednesday’s practice, but was demoted to miss Thursday’s practice due to a foot injury. This could result in major adjustments to the run game if either player is unavailable.
