Mike Edwards - Headed to Tampa Bay The Buccaneers claimed Edwards off waivers Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Edwards will be with his third team in two weeks after being waived by the Bills and Titans on Nov. 5 and 13, respectively. This time, Edwards is headed to a familiar environment, having been selected by the Buccaneers in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft and was on the roster for Tampa Bay's Super Bowl LV win in 2020. Edwards will bolster a Bucs secondary that is dealing with injuries to Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and Tykee Smith (knee).

Calijah Kancey - Notches sack in Week 10 Kancey posted five tackles (all solo), including a sack, and forced a fumble against the 49ers in Sunday's loss.

Impact Kancey made a big sack of Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter, and he forced Purdy to fumble on the play, though San Francisco was able to recover. The sack resulted in a third down, and the 49ers came up empty on the drive when Jake Moody missed a field goal two plays later. Kancey has tallied 3.0 sacks over the past two weeks, and with 4.0 sacks over five contests on the campaign he's already tied the total he registered over 14 regular-season games last year.

Lavonte David - Tallies eight tackles again David finished Sunday's 23-20 loss to San Francisco with eight tackles (four solo).

Impact David has logged exactly eight tackles in each of his last three outings, and he has reached that mark in seven of 10 regular-season games. He leads the Buccaneers with 72 tackles (44 solo) on the year, which is one more than safety Jordan Whitehead.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Eight tackles in Week 10 Winfield logged eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Winfield has registered at least seven tackles in four straight regular-season games, and he is well past a foot injury that sidelined him from Week 2 through 5. He's up to 48 tackles (25 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery for a touchdown across six regular-season games.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Whitehead - Career-high 12 tackles vs. Niners Whitehead finished Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers with 12 tackles (seven solo).

Impact Whitehead's 12 tackles Sunday not only led both teams, but also surpassed his career-high 11 tackles that he set in Week 2 against the Lions. Through the first 10 games of the regular season, Whitehead has logged 71 tackles (43 solo) and three pass defenses.

Chase McLaughlin - Another unblemished day Sunday McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 30 and 26 yards and also made both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact McLaughlin managed another productive afternoon despite the fact the Buccaneers' offense was once again operating very short-handed at receiver. The veteran kicker's opportunities continue to be mostly unencumbered by the personnel losses at the skill position, as Sunday marked McLaughlin's fourth consecutive game with four kicking opportunities despite the absences of Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) for the last three contests.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Trey Palmer - Can't haul in only target Palmer failed to secure his only target in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact The second-year speedster was in on just 15 snaps (25 percent) during the narrow loss, surprising considering the absence of Mike Evans and unavailability of Jalen McMillan due to hamstring issues. Palmer had logged at least 25 snaps in each of the previous three games, making Sunday's downturn all the more noteworthy. With both Evans and McMillan potentially available for a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye, Palmer could be headed for another minor role in that contest.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sterling Shepard - Just two touches in loss Shepard brought in one of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Shepard was in on 44 snaps (72 percent) and couldn't do much with them, despite Mike Evans (hamstring) remaining out and Jalen McMillan active but not playing any snaps potentially due to his own hamstring issue. The veteran appears unable to serve as anything more than a tertiary option at this later stage of his career, as Shepard has just a 16-166-1 receiving line and 7-55 rushing tally over eight games.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Miller - One catch in Week 10 loss Miller secured one of three targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Miller was once again active with Mike Evans (hamstring) still out and Jalen McMillan available but not playing any snaps. Miller logged a robust 52 snaps (85 percent), but as his final line substantiates, he couldn't make much of an impact. The Furman product now has at least one reception in four consecutive games, but with both Evans and McMillan thought to have a good chance of suiting up following the Week 11 bye, Miller's days on the active roster may be numbered.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen McMillan - Active but no snaps Sunday McMillan, who missed Week 9 with a hamstring injury, was active in Sunday's loss to the 49ers but didn't log any snaps, Greg Auman of FOX Sports reports.

Impact The rookie wideout had logged just a single practice, and limited at that, during Week 10 prep, but the fact the Buccaneers had invested game day roster spot in him would have seemed to portend a regular role. Nevertheless, McMillan never saw the field against San Francisco, and in addition to Auman's confirmation of such, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times appeared to imply the speedster simply wasn't healthy enough to run routes. McMillan will now have a Week 11 bye to potentially get back to full health before a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants, a game that could also mark the return of Mike Evans (hamstring).

Tristan Wirfs - Will be week-to-week after bye Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Wirfs (knee) will be week-to-week after the Buccaneers' bye in Week 11, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Wirfs underwent an MRI to examine the knee injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the 49ers, but it fortunately returned as nothing more than a low-grade MCL sprain. If he does miss any game action as he recovers, Justin Skule would likely step into a starting role at one of Tampa Bay's tackle spots.

Tristan Wirfs - Tending to sprained MCL Wirfs was diagnosed with an MCL sprain following Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact It's a positive development for Wirfs, who may have had to miss the rest of the season if he'd instead torn his MCL in Week 10. He's not expected to miss more than a couple of games as he recovers, during which time Justin Skule would figure to step into a starting role on the Buccaneers' offensive line.
