Why isn’t Trey Palmer playing for the Buccaneers against the Saints? NFL Week 6 injury status
Here’s who’s in and who’s out for the game between the Buccaneers and the Saints.
A wild week for the Bucs saw them leave Tampa Bay amid the madness of Hurricane Milton and now the sport is back on their minds, this time in the form of the Saints, who they play in Week 6 of what has been a crazy NFL season so far.
The Tampa side go into the tie with a 3-2 record and will be looking to extend their number of wins and grow in confidence after repeatedly alternating between winning and losing since the second week of the campaign.
As for the Saints, they are searching for what would be their third win of the season after having lost their last two; a huge win over the Cowboys in Week 3 saw their status shoot upwards but since then victories have been hard to come by with various players not fit to participate.
Here is a list of all the players who are in, out, questionable or doubts ahead of the Week 6 game, which is set to be held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
