Fantasy Impact: Shepard was also absent from practice on Thursday. He'll have another chance to practice on Saturday with the Buccaneers playing on Monday against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie was unable to practice on Thursday. He's managing a toe injury of some kind right now, and recent reports indicated that this is something that he will likely be battling all season. It seems likely that he will play in Week 9, but it's less than ideal that he will be playing at less than 100% health.
Rakim Jarrett has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. (Source: Jenna Laine on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Jarrett was a full participant at practice all week. He should be good to go for Sunday's game.
Payne Durham has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. (Source: Jenna Laine on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Payne closed the week logging a full practice on Friday. He should be on the favorable side of questionable.
Tykee Smith has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. (Source: Jenna Laine on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Smith was unable to clear concussion protocol after leaving last Monday's game early. He'll look to clear concussion protocol for next week.
Greg Gaines has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. (Source: Jenna Laine on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Gaines closed the week missing practice on Friday. The Buccaneers defensive line will be a little short-handed in his absence.

Mike Evans underwent an MRI that confirmed he will miss at least the next four weeks. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: That includes the Buccaneers bye week, so he may only miss three games. He could return in Week 12 against the Giants.
Chris Godwin (ankle) has officially been placed on injured reserve and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. (Source: Scott Smith)
Fantasy Impact: Godwin suffered an ankle injury in Week 7, and the team has officially placed him on injured reserve. That means that he will be out for the next four weeks at the very least, but the expectation is that he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. This is a tough blow for fantasy managers, as he was having an electric season before going down. Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton will both see more opportunities in his absence.
Rachaad White (foot) is officially active for Week 7 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Baltimore Ravens. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: White is good to go after logging a full practice session Saturday, although fantasy managers should temper expectations as head coach Todd Bowles stated he will ride the “hot hand” at running back between White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker against the Ravens defense Monday night.
Buccaneers WR Kameron Johnson (ankle) I s officially inactive for Week 6.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury and did not practice in the last two sessions of the week. He does not hold any fantasy value currently.
Trey Palmer has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints. (Source: Rick Stroud on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Palmer was unable to clear concussion protocol in time. The Bucs could get Jalen McMillan back from his hamstring injury.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Jalen McMillan will be able to play on Sunday against the Saints. (Source: Greg Auman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: McMillan was sidelined the past couple of weeks due to a hamstring injury. He will return to his WR3 role behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Luke Goedeke (concussion) practiced in a full capacity on Wednesday. (Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Fantasy Impact: Goedeke missed last week's game while dealing with a concussion, but he has recovered from it and was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. That means that he will likely play in Week 6, which is good news for Tampa Bay's offensive line.
Calijah Kancey (calf) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Greg Auman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Kancey has missed several games because of a calf injury, but he was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. It looks like he's gearing up to make a return in Week 6, which would be great news for a struggling Buccaneers' defense.
Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. (Source: Greg Auman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Winfield has been dealing with a foot injury for a little while now, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. He will have a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Saints, but we won't know more until later in the week.
The Buccaneers designated Earnest Brown to return from injured reserve. (Source: Scott Smith on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Brown landed on IR three days before the start of the regular season after suffering an injury to his ribs during practice. He'll have the next 21 days to officially be activated.
Tristan Wirfs (knee) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. (Source: Atlanta Falcons)
Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Wirfs will be available to play in Thursday's game despite being limited by a knee injury earlier in the week. He is one of the best lineman in football and is a crucial element of Tampa Bay's offense.
Buccaneers DT Vita Vea will return to play Sunday after suffering a knee injury in Week 2. (Source: Rick Stroud on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Good time for the seventh-year Buccaneer to make his return as they are hosting the league's rushing yards leader in Saquon Barkley, who the team will hope to contain today.
Jamel Dean (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Dean will be available to play on Sunday after logging two-straight full practices to end the week. His presence will be important in Tampa Bay's secondary with Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) unavailable to play against the Broncos.
Chase McLaughlin (illness) is off of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin's status for Week 1 was in question earlier this week because of an illness that he was dealing with, but he has since been removed from the injury report and will be good to go for Sunday's game. He projects to be a solid option in a matchup against the Commanders.
