The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced a setback in their edge-rushing depth due to Joe Tryon-Shoyinka's ankle injury during their victory over the New York Giants. However, the team is set to welcome back outside linebacker Markees Watts from injured reserve, who last played in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Watts, primarily a special teams player, may step into a more significant role in the edge-rushing rotation alongside Yaya Diaby, Chris Braswell, and Anthony Nelson. The Buccaneers have struggled to generate pressure this season, with Nelson being the only edge rusher to exceed two sacks.
