        Outlook Darkens on Emeka Egbuka's Hamstring Issue

        ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will head for more testing Tuesday "to determine how much time he will miss" following the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win over the 49ers.

        That's worse than the report we got from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport earlier Monday morning. It seems we should not only expect to miss Egbuka from Week 7 fantasy lineups but might also need to worry about Week 8 at New Orleans.

        Tampa Bay does, at least, get its bye in Week 9. We'll see if that can help limit the missed time for the star rookie.

        In the meantime, the Bucs hope to get WR Mike Evans back at practice this week.

        Rookie Tez Johnson wound up leading Tampa WRs in playing time against San Francisco. Kameron Johnson and Sterling Shepard rounded out the top three after Egbuka went down.
