Latest News: Key Players Downgraded to ‘Out’
In more depressing news for Buckeyes fans, Vita Vea and wide receiver Kameron Johnson have been officially ruled out of Sunday’s upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. Vea is suffering from a Grade 2 right MCL sprain, which he suffered in last week’s game against the Detroit Lions. Despite missing two practice sessions and even trying to participate in Friday’s practice, Vea’s condition did not improve enough. Similarly, Johnson, who has an ankle injury, tried to practice on Wednesday but ended up being listed as questionable.
Team Changes Due to Injuries
With serious injuries to Vea and Johnson, the Buckeyes were forced to make drastic changes. Defensive lineman Mike Greene was promoted for the third straight week, while wide receiver Sterling Shepard will make his season debut.
Addition and Delisting
In addition to these changes, the team also confirmed the signing of defensive lineman CJ Brewer. Brewer was promoted to the 53-man squad after being called up two weeks earlier. Meanwhile, cornerback Keenan Isaac has been dropped by the team.
Other Key Players are Employees
In more tragic news, many other key players are out due to injury. Calijah Kancey, Vea’s teammate and 2023 first-round draft pick, has been ruled out of the first two games and will miss the third week with a left calf injury. Starting right tackle Luke Goedeke will miss his second straight game with a concussion, while All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. He is also out with ankle and foot injuries.
Adapting to Challenges
Despite these setbacks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain resilient, adjusting their strategies to accommodate unexpected schedule changes. As they prepare to face the Denver Broncos, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the team will perform under these tough conditions.
