Sometimes a quick turnaround can be a good thing, which it just might be for the Buccaneers. When you lose a heartbreaker as the Bucs did to Oakland, it can take a few days to get over it. When there are only a few days to prepare for the next one, the team is forced to get over it faster.
And when you go up against the leaders in your division, the game becomes that much bigger. We know what is at stake when the Bucs line up against the Falcons on Thursday night to complete the season series. They have had the Falcons’ number as of late, but anything can happen when you score as much as Atlanta does.
With that, let’s get to the final injury report of the week. First as always, for the Bucs:
Unfortunately, it seems there is a decent chance that Shep will not be available, which takes away a growing weapon from Jameis Winston and company. Gholston may very well make his return, adding to the growing health of the defensive line. All hands on deck to get after Matt Ryan would be a good thing.
Now for the Falcons:
I’m sure Jameis is thrilled not to have Freeney looking at him from across the line.
