The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently grappling with significant roster gaps amidst their challenging season, particularly with injuries at inside linebacker following SirVocea Dennis's season-ending surgery and the losses of key receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Despite a strong performance from quarterback Baker Mayfield in a nail-biting 31-26 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, where tight end Cade Otton stood out with two touchdowns, the team struggled with turnovers and defensive pressures. With general manager Jason Licht unlikely to pursue mid-season trades, the Bucs will need to maximize their existing talent as they strive to remain competitive in upcoming games.
