Emeka Egbuka's toe injury raises concerns for Buccaneers' Week 1 status

Coach Todd Bowles described Egbuka as 'day to day, week to week,' leaving his availability for Week 1 in question. The second-year wide receiver, who had a strong rookie season, was anticipated to have a larger role following Mike Evans' departure. Egbuka's ongoing injury issues raise concerns for the Buccaneers, who are already facing other challenges, including Baker Mayfield's contract frustrations and Vita Vea's holdout.
