Sterling Shepard

Sterling Shepard (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday.

Thursday was the first practice of the week for the Buccaneers, who face the Chiefs on Monday. Shepard exited the team’s Week 8 loss against the Falcons with a hamstring injury and did not return to the field, putting his Week 9 availability legitimately in question. If he’s unable to go, The Buccaneers will likely feature a lot of Trey Palmer and Jalen McMillan in the passing game.
