Buccaneers hope to get injured players back soon as tough stretch awaits after a bye week

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers overcame several injuries to key players and kept winning in the first half of their season. The Buccaneers (6-2) have a two-game lead in the division at their bye-week break. All those injuries allowed more players opportunities to get on the field, improving Tampa Bay’s depth and providing coaches a chance to learn what some of the backups and reserves can do in meaningful games.
