Rueben Bain Jr. — Active
Bain was unavailable for Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers, sitting out a second straight game while nursing a groin injury. His ability to be considered a full participant at Monday's walkthrough practice is a positive sign, and he seems likely to play Thursday night versus the Cowboys.
Rueben Bain Jr. — Active
Rueben Bain Jr. listed Active.
Rueben Bain Jr. — Out
Bain missed Week 3 after seemingly suffering a groin injury in the game prior. The 22-year-old was unable to practice all week and will now miss Sunday's game versus Green Bay. The first-round rookie has only one tackle on the season but has garnered starter reps in each of his two regular-season games played. Al-Quadin Muhammad is set to receive more snaps in Bain's place.
Rueben Bain Jr. — Questionable
Bain has been unable to practice since sustaining a groin injury during the Buccaneers' Week 2 loss to the Browns. The first-round rookie has missed four consecutive sessions and does not appear to be any closer to playing in Week 4 than he was in Week 3. Al-Quadin Muhammad is once again set to receive the lion's share of starting snaps as the outside linebacker across from Yaya Diaby (calf).
