In what promises to be an exciting Monday night matchup, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles. Mark your calendars for September 25, 2023, at 7:15 PM Eastern Time. Raymond James Stadium in sunny Tampa, Florida, is the battleground for this clash of titans. Football fans can expect a thrilling encounter as these two teams vie for supremacy on the gridiron.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without Boston Scott and Quez Watkins against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Scott is going through concussion protocol, while Watkins did not practice all week. Head Coach Nick Sirianni may give Olamide Zaccheaus an expanded role, who has a strong record against Tampa Bay with 13 catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns.

Coach Sirianni praised Zaccheaus on Friday, expressing his confidence should he play on Monday night. The Eagles will have Blankenship, Bradberry, and Gainwell back in action, while Maddox’s replacement as nickel cornerback is yet to be determined.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

There are a few injuries to watch for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before their Monday night game. Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White is questionable due to a groin injury. He was added to the injury report on Friday and was limited in practice on Saturday. Starting cornerback Carlton Davis is also questionable with a toe injury. He was limited in practice throughout the week. Another starting player, guard Cody Mauch, is questionable due to a back injury added to his injury report during the week. However, he was a full participant in practice on Saturday.

Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea is questionable due to a pec injury and was limited in practice all week. In addition, rookie first-round pick defensive lineman Calijah Kancey is out with a calf injury and has not practiced since the season-opening win against Minnesota. Finally, linebacker SirVocea Dennis is also out due to a hamstring injury.
