The Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel north Minneapolis this weekend to take on a Vikings team that like Tampa Bay is looking for its first win of the season. Both teams lost in Week 1 -- Tampa Bay to Detroit, Minnesota to San Diego -- and should be at their best this Sunday as they try to avoid an 0-2 start.
For the Buccaneers, the injury situation isn't too dire. CB Myron Lewis is out with an ankle injury, and WR Sammie Stroughter will not suit up due to a foot injury. DT Brian Price is dealing with a gruesome hamstring injury as well, a potentially troublesome injury as the Buccaneers try to slow down Adrian Peterson. Other than that though, Raheem Morris' squad should be at close to full strength
Let's take a look at the complete injury and practice report for the Buccaneers this week, and then the same for the host Minnesota Vikings.
