Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive injury updates for key starters

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are receiving positive injury updates for several key starters as they prepare for their Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Following an 0-3 start to the season, the team is working to stabilize its roster.

Edge rusher Yaya Diaby, who has been dealing with a calf injury sustained during the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, returned to practice on Thursday. Head coach Todd Bowles indicated that Diaby is likely to play this week. Wide receiver Chris Godwin also returned to practice on Thursday after being sidelined Wednesday with an ankle injury.

Defensive concerns remain regarding linebacker Josiah Trotter and edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. Trotter, who has been managing a shoulder injury, participated in practice, though his status will depend on how he performs in pads. The team is still evaluating the availability of Bain as the week progresses.
