Buccaneers left guard Ben Bredeson reportedly did not participate in Monday’s practice due to the knee injury he suffered against the Saints on Sunday.
Head coach Todd Bowles said during his Monday press conference that Bredeson is undergoing more tests on his knee and the team will await those results before determining his availability for Thursday night’s game against the Falcons. A short week would seem to make Bredeson’s chances of playing longer than the alternative.

The Bucs also said tight end Cade Otton (knee), linebacker SirVocea Dennis (hip), defensive back Christian Izien (neck), edge rusher Haason Reddick (ankle) and safety Tykee Smith (neck, shoulder) were reported to be out Monday. The team didn’t hold a tour until a day after its 24-20 loss to New Orleans.
Wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone), left tackle Tristan Wirfs (oblique) and wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) were listed as limited participants. Bowles said earlier in the day that all three were “in play” to return Thursday.
Wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) was also listed as limited while running back Bucky Irving (shoulder), quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), cornerback Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) and safety Rashad Wisdom (quad) were reported to be full participants.
