The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are providing updates on the injury status of several players ahead of their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.

Luke Goedeke, who cleared the concussion protocol, is expected to start at right tackle.
Calijah Kancey, the Bucs' first-round draft pick in 2023, is set to return from a calf injury, adding depth to the defensive line.

Yes, but: The team will be without Graham Barton, their first-round draft pick in 2024, due to a hamstring injury.

Rachaad White is doubtful with a foot injury, which may affect the running back rotation.
Antoine Winfield, the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, continues to recover from a foot injury suffered in Week 1. His availability for the game is still uncertain.

What to watch: The performance of the secondary will depend on the availability of safeties Christian Izien, Jordan Whitehead, and Trey Palmer.

Christian Izien will be out due to multiple injuries, while Jordan Whitehead is expected to play through a groin injury.
Trey Palmer will miss his second straight game with a concussion.

What's new: Jalen McMillan, a wide receiver, is set to return after missing the past two weeks with a hamstring injury.

Robert Hainsey will replace Graham Barton at center, showcasing his versatility and ability to contribute to the offensive line.

He highlighted Calijah Kancey's full participation in practice, indicating his readiness to play.
Bowles also mentioned that Antoine Winfield's availability will likely be a game-time decision but expressed optimism about his progress.

The bottom line: The Buccaneers are managing injuries and making adjustments to ensure they field a competitive team against the Saints.
