Palmer (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Palmer will miss a second consecutive game, which could lead to an increased role for Sterling Shepard, especially if Jalen McMillan (hamstring) remains sidelined as well. Palmer's next chance to suit up will be Week 7 against the Ravens on MNF.
Palmer (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Palmer is on track to miss a second straight game due to the concussion he suffered Week 4 while filling in for Jalen McMillan (hamstring) as the No. 3 receiver. McMillan, meanwhile, was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, hinting at a chance to return this Sunday at New Orleans.
Palmer (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. Palmer has yet to mix into drills since suffering a concussion Week 4 against the Eagles. With no visible progress through the protocol for head injuries, he may be in danger of missing a second game in a row Sunday at New Orleans, but he'll have two more sessions this week to attempt to get on a path to suiting up. Fellow WRs Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) were limited Wednesday, giving them far better odds to be available this weekend behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Palmer (concussion) is ruled out for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Palmer entered the NFL's concussion protocol during Sunday's game against the Eagles, so he never seemed a likely candidate to gain full clearance on a short week. With Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also ruled out for Thursday, Tampa Bay could have to rely heavily on veteran wideout Sterling Shepard and Kameron Johnson (hamstring) to pick up slack behind starters Mike Evans (knee/calf) and Chris Godwin. Palmer and McMillan will both work to return to full health in time to take on the Saints in Week 6.
Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Palmer is highly unlikely to play in Thursday's game at Atlanta, having entered concussion protocol during Sunday's win over the Eagles. He was filling in for Jalen McMillan (hamstring) as the No. 3 receiver, a role that then fell to Sterling Shepard. With McMillan also listed as a non-participant so far this week, Shepard may again join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as a regular presence in three-wide formation.
Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Palmer was forced out of Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a concussion, and given that the Buccaneers are on a short week, the wideout's status for Thursday's game against the Flacons is cloudy. With Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also banged up, the team's depth behind top WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin is currently taxed.
Palmer won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a concussion, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Palmer was serving as the Buccaneers' No. 3 wide receiver Week 4 with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) sidelined, but the former now will be subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to play again. With a short turnaround for Thursday's road matchup with the Falcons, Palmer will be hard-pressed to gain clearance from an independent neurologist for that contest. Kameron Johnson and Sterling Shepard will be the backup WRs behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin for the rest of Sunday's outing.
Palmer is in line to serve as the Buccaneers' No. 3 wideout Sunday with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) ruled out, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Palmer will be returning to the role he filled throughout his 2023 rookie campaign, when he furnished a 39-385-3 line on 68 targets over 17 regular-season games and added four receptions for 88 yards and another TD during Tampa Bay's two-game postseason run. The Nebraska product has been stuck behind McMillan since the start of this season, but he could stand to benefit from plenty of single coverage Sunday as the Eagles likely devote plenty of resources to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Palmer failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. Palmer played on just 12 snaps from scrimmage overall (21 percent) and added another five on special teams. The second-year wideout saw 20 snaps on offense in the season-opening win over the Commanders, but he's only combined for one more than that over the last two games. Palmer remains a fantasy afterthought for the time being in a No. 4 receiver role that hasn't facilitated many opportunities thus far.
