Getting work Monday
Egbuka (toe) is "participating in warmups and running routes" at Monday's practice, according to Pewter Report.
Egbuka was limited to work on the side last week, and although it's not yet clear how much he will do Monday, it appears he has taken a step forward in his recovery from a toe issue. There has been hope that Egbuka will be available for Week 1, and there remains reason to believe he will be available for Tampa Bay's opener.
