Ruled out for Week 8
Egbuka (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Bucs' official site reports.
With the concussion no longer the issue, Egbuka's availability is now being dictated by his foot injury. His absence will force Tez Johnson and Ted Hurst into more snaps and targets alongside veteran slot man Chris Godwin. Egbuka's next chance to play will be Week 9 against the Bears. The Bucs then have their bye the following week.
