Bucs safety Mike Edwards is out of Sunday’s game against the Panthers with a hamstring injury. It’s unclear when Edwards suffered the injury, but it may have occurred during Carolina’s second-quarter drive, which ended with kicker Eddy Pineiros’ second missed field goal.

Bucs safety depth chart

Even before Edwards’ injury, the Bucs were very thin in the secondary. Starting safety Jordan Whitehead was placed on injured reserve this week with a pectoral injury, and nickel corner Tykee Smith missed the last two weeks with a knee injury.

Backup safety Christian Izien is already playing corner in Smith’s place. Tavierre Thomas is the only other healthy safety on the roster, although he plays primarily on special teams. The Bucs can’t afford many more injuries in the defensive backfield, which has struggled with injuries and generally inconsistent play all year.
