Emeka Egbuka's injury puts Week 1 status in doubt for Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is dealing with a toe injury that compromises his availability for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Todd Bowles mentioned that Egbuka is 'day-to-day, week-to-week' but could not confirm if he will be ready for the season opener on September 13. Egbuka, coming off a strong season with 938 yards and six touchdowns, is expected to take on a larger role following the departure of Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers. The Buccaneers' offensive strategy may change significantly if Egbuka is unable to play.
