Ahead of the titanic battle between Bucs and Packers, NFL greats, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have a headache with team selection. Most of their top players are injured and unavailable ahead of the big clash. Buccaneers WRs, Russell Gage (Hamstring), Breshad Perriman (knee), and RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) are listed as questionable. 

WR Julio Jones also remains doubtful about the clash. He is down with a knee injury. However, they all are expected to play. But what worries the Bucs fans is how would they perform if they play with injuries. Aaron Rodgers may also play without five of his trusted men.  

Tom Brady will miss Mike Evans, Packers too in peril 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is suspended for one game. The experienced campaigner is missing the Week 3 encounter. TB12 and Co. roped in 33-year-old Cole Beasley as his replacement. Brady trusts Beasley can fill the Evans void with his experience. 

Meanwhile, Green Bay Packers will miss the receiver, Sammy Watkins, with a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old leads the Packers in receiving yards this season with 111. WR Christian Watson and Randall Cobb are questionable for the Sunday clash. Packers TE Marcedes Lewis is also doubtful. However, offensive tackle David Bakhtiari continued his practice for the second straight day, despite his injury.
