Buccaneers face key player absences ahead of Falcons game.

Why it matters: The Buccaneers will be without several key players, including wide receiver Trey Palmer and safety Antoine Winfield Jr., for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.

What's new: The team has signed veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard and inside linebacker Antonio Grier from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to compensate for the injuries.

Wide receiver Trey Palmer is dealing with a concussion.
Jalen McMillan is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. remains out with a foot/ankle injury.
Starting right tackle Luke Goedeke is out due to a concussion.
Starting defensive tackle Calijah Kancey is sidelined with a calf injury.
Inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis has been placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

Yes, but: Coach Todd Bowles expressed confidence in the players stepping up despite the injuries, highlighting their previous success in filling in for missing players.

The team has been resilient in the face of injuries throughout the season.
The depth and adaptability of the roster have been crucial in maintaining a competitive edge.

What to watch: The performance of the newly signed players, Sterling Shepard and Antonio Grier, as they step into expanded roles for the upcoming game.

Shepard brings experience and playmaking ability to the wide receiver position.
Grier will be tasked with filling the void at inside linebacker and contributing to the team's defensive efforts.

What's next: The Buccaneers will rely on their remaining roster to deliver a strong performance against the Falcons and secure a victory despite the absence of key players.

The coaching staff will need to make strategic adjustments and utilize the available talent effectively.
The team will continue to monitor the progress of injured players like Calijah Kancey, who may have a chance to return for the next game against the New Orleans Saints.

The bottom line: Despite the challenges posed by player absences, the Buccaneers remain determined to maintain their winning momentum and overcome adversity with the depth and resilience of their roster.
