Anderson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Bills.

Anderson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, which was good enough for him to shed an injury tag into Thursday night's game. The third-year pro is enjoying a productive 2025 campaign, accumulating 30 tackles (20 solo), including 8.0 sacks, two pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) across 10 regular-season games.

Mayfield was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an illness.

An illness has swept the Buccaneers' roster at the start of Week 12 prep, with all of Mayfield, WR Emeka Egbuka, O-linemen Luke Goedeke, Graham Barton and Dan Feeney and D-lineman Logan Hall operating with a cap on their reps. Mayfield will have two more chances to get back to full participation this week, with Friday's injury report ultimately revealing whether or not he has a designation for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Lewis (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis was injured one snap into the Week 9 win over the Raiders and has been sidelined since. However, getting in a limited practice Wednesday would seem to give him a chance to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals.

Newsome (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Newsome was injured in the first quarter of last Sunday's win over the Chargers and was unable to return to the contest. With Newsome sidelined, Christian Braswell took over at cornerback alongside Montaric Brown and Jarrian Jones.

Harrison (knee/ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Harrison missed last Sunday's win over the Chargers, and Cole Van Lanen made the start at right tackle in Harrison's place. Getting in a limited practice to open the week would seem to put Harrison on track to potentially return Sunday versus Arizona.

Walker (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Walker sustained a knee injury during the second quarter of the Jaguars' Week 11 win over the Chargers and was not cleared to return. He was held out of the first practice of Week 12 prep, but he'll have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Cardinals. Walker has recorded 20 tackles (eight solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defense across nine regular-season games.

Phillips (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Phillips popped up on the injury report ahead of the Jets' Week 11 matchup against the Patriots, but he still managed to suit up. That provides some hope that he'll be able to suit up once again in Week 12 to face the Ravens.

Smith (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Smith missed two games earlier in the season due to a Grade 2 hamstring injury, though whether his current injury is to the same leg isn't clear. He likely tweaked his hamstring during Baltimore's Week 11 win over Cleveland, when he played every single defensive snap and logged four tackles (two solo) and one pass defense. Smith will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

McDonald (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.

McDonald was on the injury report with the same issue ahead of the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Patriots. He still managed to suit up, which bodes well for his availability in Week 12 against the Ravens.

Hamilton (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's session.

Hamilton likely picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 11 win over the Browns, when he played every single defensive snap and finished with nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble. His absence from Wednesday's practice may have been precautionary, and he'll have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
