TAMPA, Fla. — If Friday morning’s practice is any indication, the Bucs’ injury-besieged corps of receivers is getting a bit healthier.
Veterans Julio Jones (knee) and Mike Evans (calf), neither of whom participated in Thursday’s practice, were present Friday morning when the team hit the field at AdventHealth Training Center. Additionally, receiver Russell Gage (hamstring), who didn’t practice Wednesday and was a limited participant on Thursday, also was practicing.
All three were listed as questionable for Sunday’s game at New Orleans on the team’s final injury report Friday, along with tailback Leonard Fournette (hamstring), receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) and right tackle Tristan Wirfs (abdomen). All practiced in a limited capacity Friday and are expected to play against the Saints.
