Buccaneers | Russell Gage out for season Wed Aug 16, 01:26 PM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Russell Gage Jr. (knee) is expected to miss the 2023 season with an unspecified knee injury suffered at practice, per source on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs offense is going to be rough and this certainly won't help, as the team didn't have a clear WR4 behind Gage. Sixth-round pick Trey Palmer, 2022 UDFA Deven Thompkins, 2023 UDFA Rakim Jarrett, and former Seahawk David Moore are competing for more playing time in the wake of this injury. |

Buccaneers | Russell Gage sidelined Wed Jul 26, 01:40 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Russell Gage Jr. (leg) has an unspecified injury that he's working his way back from, head coach Todd Bowles revealed on Wednesday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Gage is there to be the no.3 wide receiver for the Buccaneers behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. They'll ease him back into action, but rookie WR Trey Palmer will get more of an opportunity to impress. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Russell Gage Jr. (undisclosed) is present at minicamp Tuesday, Jun 13, but not practicing.

Buccaneers | Russell Gage dealing with injury Sat May 27, 01:08 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Russell Gage Jr. (undisclosed) has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, according to QB Baker Mayfield.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, the Buccaneers reportedly moved Gage's $10 million base salary to $7 million (and he can earn some back with incentives). They did this to free up some money, and he did it to help out the team (he's signed through the 2024 season). Gage is a weapon when healthy, but staying healthy has been a problem. He was carted off the field in the Buccaneers' Wild Card loss to the Cowboys back in January. We'll see if he can get healthy, stay healthy, and provide Mayfield with a reliable no.3 wide receiver in 2023. |

| Footballguys view: Rachaad White will get the start and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will back him up unless Fournette rallies from a hip injury. White will be a solid RB2 play with PPR punch against a Cleveland defense that the Buffalo running game came alive against last week. |
