Julio Jones Is Ready For Sunday
November 11th, 2022It’s always news — and good news — when Julio Jones is ready to play.
After to full practices on Thursday and Friday, Julio is not listed as questionable or doubtful on today’s final injury report before Sunday morning’s game in Germany.
Julio is good to go. And the Bucs may need him desperately as Mike Evans has been “limited” all week in practice with ankle and rib injuries.
Head coach Todd Bowles said today that Cameron Brate (neck) will be a gametime decision. Brate practiced all week and if he returns, it would be his first action since the injury on Oct. 16 in Pittsburgh.
On defense, the big news, as Joe previously shared, is Pro Bowl safety Antoine Winfield coming back from his concussion. He should make a huge difference, hopefully breaking the Bucs’ record five-game streak of no forced turnovers.

He’ll be out with a hamstring after the 1st drive
November 11th, 2022 at 1:33 pm
Looking forward to Julio’s 3 snaps on Sunday before he limps off the field.
November 11th, 2022 at 1:36 pm
Lol! Give him a beer and bratwurst, he’s ready to watch the game!
November 11th, 2022 at 1:37 pm
I would love to see him match Metcalf catch for catch, TD for TD. Prolly aint gonna happen, but can’t a fan ever have nice things?
Great news on Winfield. He’s a stud and we need all hands on deck for this game.
The Bucs NEED to show the world that they are a good, competent team, not this inferior product they’ve put on tape these past few weeks, sans that last drive against the Rams. Show us MORE of that last drive, please Bucs!
GO BUCS!!!

D-Rok is ready for Sunday, too. I’ll be day-drinking by 8am, ha ha.
November 11th, 2022 at 1:39 pm
Wholio. Yawn.
Bowelswich. Vomit.
November 11th, 2022 at 1:54 pm
Place yet bets folks! Bet on which quarter Whoolio will collapse in. 1000 to 1 odds if he finishes the game.
On the other hand, GREAT news about Antoine!!!
November 11th, 2022 at 2:00 pm
Let’s hope that Julio comes up big and can play a whole game. When I saw Evans walking down the steps of the plane when it landed in Munich he didn’t look real comfortable. Maybe he will be ready by Sunday.
November 11th, 2022 at 2:21 pm
he’ll pull up lame before half time……
November 11th, 2022 at 2:23 pm
Wonder what the Vegas odds are for # of snaps Julio has before re-injuring himself/limping off field??? over/under 5?
November 11th, 2022 at 3:01 pm
I can sympathise with Julio. I can hurt my hamstring, just getting off the couch too quickly.
November 11th, 2022 at 3:01 pm
I like brate but it’s ottons job to lose at this time
November 11th, 2022 at 3:07 pm
Bucs should never have signed him. He is always hurt and hardly ever at 100%.
November 11th, 2022 at 3:19 pm
Agree jersey. Was a fave of mine but hasn’t quite looked the same since hip surgery a few years ago and getting banged up now. Ease him back in a bit and let otton take majority of snaps with some kieft in there
November 11th, 2022 at 3:25 pm
After his 3rd rep he’ll be riding pine with some sort of injury.
Wonder if Vegas has any odds fir this?
November 11th, 2022 at 3:26 pm
Wholia, the $6,000,000 receiver who gets trip by a grass clippings and gets injured…. pathetic!
November 11th, 2022 at 3:44 pm
This will maybe be the first game this year we have a chance for an actual offensive explosion. It could happen!
November 11th, 2022 at 4:02 pm
If the Bucs are relying on Julio to be a difference maker. Then chalk this game up as a loss.
November 11th, 2022 at 4:02 pm
I didn’t mind taking a flyer on Julio. Counting on him to be a significant part of the offense however was never realistic. Anything he gives you at this point is gravy.
November 11th, 2022 at 4:03 pm
Damn why y’all mad at Julio? Lol give the man a break he’s been playing at a high level for years! He used to kill us by himself! Taking a beating week in and week out from your teens to now 30s!! Let’s be real y’all were you really expecting 2018 Julio?
November 11th, 2022 at 4:28 pm
Put Leftwich in the press box with a plate of brats and Bucs will win.
November 11th, 2022 at 4:47 pm
Evans is hurting bad. The ankle and now the ribs are injured. That’s not good for us. That’s gonna be a big issue Sunday. Julio and CG have to step up.
Did Gage even make the trip? What a bitter dissapointment he’s been.
November 11th, 2022 at 4:58 pm
Waste of money like buying a YUGO when we could.have got a corvette
November 11th, 2022 at 5:32 pm
Teflon, yes quite a few here though we were getting 2018 Julio, including the proprietors of this site. Once the legs are shot, it’s over. It’s effectively been over for Julio for two plus years now.
November 11th, 2022 at 6:27 pm
Terrific. How many plays will we waste trying to force the ball to him on Sunday?
At some point they have to move past this decrepit group of tag alongs and turn the young guys loose. Julio brings nothing to the table anymore. Breshad Perriman is an absolute waste of an active roster spot. Brate is breaking down physically.
November 11th, 2022 at 6:36 pm
Last chance for Julio. If he doesn’t produce, cut him on Monday. Make room for Gronk.
November 11th, 2022 at 7:05 pm
Hopefully we are finally getting somewhat healthy. Time to go on a run.
November 11th, 2022 at 7:11 pm
Excellent, Julio is back!
Get the walker ready.
November 11th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
Great
Don’t run a jet sweep to him Flatbrim Byron
Have him run actual routes and find space or draw coverage
November 11th, 2022 at 8:03 pm
We’ll see if he can do more than 2 routes without hobbling off. Sorry but absolutely no faith in him from what we’ve seen.
We were told all training camp how great he looked… sure
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 pm
I’ll be pulling for the Bucs.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 pm
Please don’t call his number for an end-around or reverse.
November 12th, 2022 at 1:26 am
He’ll tear an acl, pcl and mcl during warmups.
November 12th, 2022 at 7:02 am
I’ll believe it when I see it.
November 12th, 2022 at 7:15 am
meanwhile on the long flight:
byro left-twitch sat in deep though thinking:
should this weeks end around got to jay-lo darden or julio “jean michel basquiat’ jones…
decisions, decisions, decisions

Hopefully Evans can go and Julio can stay in the game. Winfield coming back is huge.
I think Geno Smih is due for a bad game. If we can continue to improve getting pressure on QBs and keep him from using his legs, I don’t see him keeping up his crazy high completion %.
These guys get a lot of hype from the media but who have they beaten?
Loss to Steelers (before TJ Watt was injured but still)
Loss to Bears
Loss to Cowboys
Win against Broncos (yawn)
Loss to 49ers (blowout loss)
Win against Lions (48 to 45…yeah, the Lions scored 45)
Loss to Saints (gave up 39 points)
Then a 4 game Win streak (Cardinals, Chargers, Giants and Cardinals)
Seahawks aren’t exactly “world beaters”. I like the Bucs’ chances, especially in a close game.
The Seahawks have a good group of young, big and aggressive DBs but I think Julio’s and ME13’s experience will give them the edge. Especially Julio because he know how to get open. If he’s even close to 100% and can stay on the field, he should be able to school these young pups.
Bucs 31, Seahawks 17. Go Bucs!!!
November 12th, 2022 at 10:08 am
Yay, maybe another Jones Jet sweep for 2 yards!! #washed
November 12th, 2022 at 11:27 am
PS- Those young aggressive DBs for Seattle are going to see 2 future Hall of Famers (3 because CG might get there too) coming at them. Let’s see how “grabby” they get facing that prospect if BL actually tries to stretch the field and go deep. Could be a big laundry day with PIs. Let’s hope BL wants to challenge them.

Julio is probably already in the Med Staff hotel area. Cramps, dehydration. And a bruise from being hit last Sunday.
November 13th, 2022 at 8:24 am
Byron, Please don’t run up the gut on the 1st play !
