Emeka Egbuka Still Out Thursday

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (hip, groin) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It looks like he's in legitimate danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Jets. With WR Chris Godwin still out, Egbuka's absence would leave the Bucs with Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller, and Kameron Johnson behind top dog Mike Evans. TE Cade Otton would also have a chance for extra targets. We'll update Egbuka's status again on Friday afternoon.
