Kicker Harrison Butker will not play this week after injuring his ankle during the kickoff in week 1. This week, Matthew Wright was elevated from the practice squad to be the starting kicker.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is questionable to play this week with an abdomen injury. In practice this week, he logged one DNP and two LPs. He is a game-time decision.
Donovan Smith hadn't played since week 1 when the Buccaneers faced the Dallas Cowboys. He suffered an elbow injury and is listed as questionable this week. He was a limited participant in practice this week.
Russell Gage is expected to play even with a questionable designation. He had 12 catches on 13 targets last week for a hobbled Buccaneers team. Look for him to have another big game with Mike Evans returning from Suspension.
Julio Jones did not practice on Friday but was a limited participant in the other two practices of the week. A partially torn PCL has kept Jones out since the team's opening day game. He has a questionable designation going into the week.
Chris Godwin has been out since week 1 with a hamstring injury. He is also recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered last season.
Tampa Bay is favored by 1 point, and the over/under is 45.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Buccaneers are -340 to win the NFC South, while The Chiefs are -130 to win the AFC West.
