How to watch Buccaneers vs. Bills tonight? All you need to know about Week 8 Thursday Night Football

The first half of the 2023 NFL season is slowly ending, and Thursday Night Football's schedules across the league have piqued curiosity.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 8's Thursday Night Football match to kick off another NFL week.

In their last two games, the Bucs have had trouble scoring, which has led to back-to-back losses. In Weeks 6 and 7, the team only scored 19 points against the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons, respectively. Now, facing a Buffalo team that has lost two of its previous three games, Tampa Bay will try to snap out of this slump today.

It should be an exciting game because a win for any of the two teams could push them closer to a postseason place, but a loss could also hurt their prospects.

Let's quickly review some crucial information before the Thursday Night Football game.

Buccaneers vs. Bills injury report

Buffalo Bills' defenders, which include Ed Oliver and Baylor Spector, are beset by ailments. Oliver's chances of playing on Thursday Night Football are minimal because he was deemed "questionable" in the team's most recent IR, but Spector is out.

Dawson Knox, the tight end for the Buffalo Bills, is not anticipated to play against the Buccaneers either. Knox, suffering from a wrist injury, had been scheduled to have surgery two days ago. Quintin Morris is also out due to an ankle injury, meaning the Bills will be without two tight ends.

As for the Buccaneers, they will be without safety Kaevon Merriweather and guard Matt Feiler.

The Bucs will also worry about Running back Chase Edmonds and tackle Vita Vea as they are deemed game-time decisions.

As they appeared healthy throughout Wednesday's practice, wide receiver Chris Godwin and quarterback Baker Mayfield will likely play.
