The Buccaneers had 8 DNPs on their Thursday injury report. Of those 8, RB Bucky Irving, RT Tristan Wirfs, and WR Mike Evans were among them.
Any of those guys missing on Sunday would be a huge relief for the Chargers.

Per Mike Sando of The Athletic, the Chargers are the first team Kirk Cousins has faced that managed to pick him off four times while also keeping him from throwing any touchdown passes.
That's 160 games played and the Bolts were the first to do it.

#Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to miss "some time" with a MCL sprain. He's already ruled out for this weekend's tilt with the Falcons and he'll be week-to-week going forward.
Dobbins sits just 40 yards and 2 TDs away from setting new career highs.

Herbert is 4th in passing DVOA from Weeks 6-11 surrounded by some pretty good names.
He was 20th (!!) with -6.1% DVOA in the first five weeks of the season.
The strategy is working quite well.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was estimated as a DNP on Thursday as team did go through a full practice.
Khalil Mack was listed as limited which is good news for the veteran who hasn't participated in a practice for two weeks.

The Chargers needed everyone and just about every extra snap they could find or themselves to beat the Bengals 34-27 on Sunday night.
It was a game where the same old, dusty narrative nearly made an unwanted appearance before the Bolts shut the door.
