Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin was added to the injury report on Tuesday, but the team won’t be adding a different kicker to handle the role against the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that McLaughlin will play in Dallas. McLaughlin was added to the report as a non-participant due to right hip and groin injuries.
McLaughlin is 9-of-9 on field goals and 7-of-7 on extra points so far this season.
Bowles also said that rookie linebacker Rueben Bain is expected to return after missing two games with groin and shoulder injuries. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb), safety Antoine Winfield (rib), cornerback Benjamin Morrison (quad), and linebacker SirVocea Dennis (ankle, foot) have all been ruled out.
