The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing significant injury challenges ahead of their game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Key players like safety Jordan Whitehead and linebacker K.J. Britt have been ruled out, while rookie Tykee Smith may return. The team is also missing cornerback Troy Hill and linebacker J.J. Russell, further depleting their defensive lineup.

With limited depth, the Bucs will rely on Vi Jones and possibly Antonio Grier Jr. to fill in. The absence of these players poses a tough challenge, especially against the Raiders' tight end Brock Bowers.
