**Buccaneers Receive Boost Ahead of Eagles Showdown**
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have received some welcome news ahead of their Sunday clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, with running backs Rachaad White and Bucky Irving both expected to take the field. White, who was listed as questionable due to food poisoning, is already feeling better, according to a team source. Irving, meanwhile, is nursing a hamstring injury but was limited in practice during the week and has vowed to play.
However, the Buccaneers will be without starting right tackle Luke Goedeke, who failed to clear the concussion protocol on Saturday and has been ruled out for the game. This marks the third consecutive week that Goedeke will miss, having suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. Despite practicing all week, Goedeke’s absence will be felt, particularly given the team’s struggles on the offensive line, which has surrendered 12 sacks over the past two weeks.
In response to injuries to rookie receiver Jalen McMillan and Kameron Johnson, the Buccaneers have called up veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard from the practice squad for the second week in a row. Additionally, punter Trenton Gill has been elevated to address recent struggles by Jake Camarda.
