The Buccaneers are bracing for another absence on offense Sunday, with running back Sean Tucker not expected to play against the Steelers.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): #Bucs RB Sean Tucker (quad) is listed as questionable and is not expected to go today, sources say.
Tucker is listed as questionable with a quad injury but is not expected to go, per Ian Rapoport. Tampa Bay is already without quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was ruled out for the game, so the Bucs will be shorthanded on the offensive side against a Pittsburgh defense that has been among the NFL's best early this season.
With Mayfield out, Tampa Bay's ground game will be under extra pressure at Acrisure Stadium, and the Bucs are expected to supplement the running back room from the practice squad as the offense looks to stay competitive without its starting quarterback.
