The Bucks created a list of injured players with their head coach on Wednesday. Todd Bowles mentioned Eight Tampa Bay players did not practice during the team’s walkthrough. The Bucs were without defensive tackle Vita Vea and inside linebacker Devin White in last week’s game in Atlanta with toe and foot injuries, respectively. White missed two games with a foot problem.
Cornerback Jamel Dean was limited Wednesday after missing three straight games with foot and ankle injuries. Will there be any improvement for the Bucks on Thursday heading into Sunday’s game? Green Bay?
Tampa Bay held its regular full-body practice on Thursday, confirming the full return of Dean and White. It’s unclear whether Dean and White will ultimately start if they are able to play. Britt played better than White has in recent weeks against Atlanta last week, recording a career-high eight tackles and a pass breakup.

Zion McCollum has played very well in recent weeks and had his best game as a professional last Sunday against the Falcons. Dean returns, but if Carlton Davis III is out with a groin strain, McCollum could replace Davis in the starting lineup this week.
The Bucs had two starters return on Thursday, but Tampa Bay is missing two more starters with injuries in addition to Davis and Baer.
Safety Ryan Neal remained sidelined with a back injury, and wide receiver Chris Godwin, who is battling a neck injury, did not play again with a knee injury.
Defensive tackle Will Golston remained sidelined with knee and ankle injuries, and long snapper Zach Triner continued to miss practice with an elbow injury.
