The Bucs have ruled out Edge Rueben Bain Jr. (groin) and LB Josiah Trotter (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Vikings. That'll damage a defense that struggled even with them involved in a Week 2 loss to the Browns. Bain missed practice all week and was already playing through a shoulder sprain he suffered in August joint practices with the Jaguars. We'll see about his status for Week 4. Trotter returned for a limited Friday after sitting out the first two days. He returned to finish out the Week 2 game after sustaining his injury. SirVocea Dennis looks like the next guy up but shouldn't be in play for most IDP leagues.

The Buccaneers spent the 15th pick of the draft on Miami Edge Rueben Bain Jr. Bain delivered right away, tallying 7.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss as a freshman. He totaled 20.5 sacks and 33.5 tackles for loss for his career.

According to Oliver Connolly of The Read Optional, University of Miami DE Rueben Bain was involved in a fatal traffic accident in March 2024. The report says Bain was driving when he collided with another vehicle. Two passengers in that vehicle were hospitalized, including 22-year-old Destiny Betts, who died of her injuries on June 13, 2024.
