Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka injury news for Monday Night Football was a bit unexpected

The hamstrings for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been a bit wonky of late.

Not only did Mike Evans miss the last three games with a hamstring problem, but Emeka Egbuka hurt his own hammy last week.

Now, Egbuka's a true questionable status for Monday Night Football against the Detroit Lions in Week 7.

Evans seems the more likely of the two to return, while the rookie Egbuka is less certain.

The Bucs would love to have Egbuka out there. He's been a star immediately after being the No. 21 overall pick out of Ohio State.

But it remains to be seen whether he'll play.

Is Emeka Egbuka playing tonight?

Emeka Egbuka "has a real chance" to play on MNF, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Egbuka missed Thursday and Friday practice but was officially a limited participant on Saturday.

"It's possible. It's not definite," Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles told reporters. "It's gonna go all the way up until game time. He wants to play, but that depends on how he feels and how he looks."

It seems likely that if Egbuka played, his snaps would be limited in some way.

But for the Bucs, any Egbuka is better than no Egbuka.
