The injury report provided an encouraging update on Friday at One Buc Place after a week of concern. 

Five Buccaneers managed to practice on Friday and are listed as questionable for the game Sunday against the New York Giants: Tristan Wirfs, Mike Evans, Jamel Dean, Zyon McCollum, Greg Gaines, and Troy Hill. 

Wirfs' managed to get in limited work all week, although he could be seen moving with a limp, which doesn't bode well for his ability to go on Sunday.  Evans downgraded from a full to a limited practice on Friday, while Jamel Dean worked a full slate of practices all week as he returns from injured reserve. 

On the other side of the coin, the Giants added a very notable name on Friday, as WR Malik Nabers appeared on the report as a "did not practice" with a groin injury and is officially questionable for the game.  LB Kayvon Thibodeaux, like Dean, is officially questionable after a full week of practice while working to return from injured reserve. 

The Bucs and Giants kick off on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
