Calijah Kancey Ruled Out, Bucs Elevate DLs C.J. Brewer, Mike Greene

Bucs Defensive Line Suffers Major Blow With Kancey Out

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered a significant setback on their defensive line as Calijah Kancey has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Kancey, a rookie defensive tackle, has been a key contributor for the Bucs this season, starting 10 games and recording 3.5 sacks. His absence will be a major blow to Tampa Bay's defense.

Brewer and Greene Get the Call

To fill the void left by Kancey, the Bucs have elevated defensive linemen C.J. Brewer and Mike Greene from the practice squad. Brewer is a second-year player who has appeared in five games for the Bucs this season, while Greene is a veteran who has played in 103 career games.

Bucs Defense Faces Tough Test

The Bucs defense will face a tough test on Sunday against the 49ers, who have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. San Francisco is averaging 31.2 points per game, which is third in the league. The 49ers also have a strong running game, led by running back Christian McCaffrey.

Bucs Need to Step Up

With Kancey out, the Bucs will need the rest of their defensive line to step up. Brewer and Greene will need to play well in their first starts of the season. The Bucs will also need strong performances from their other defensive linemen, including Vita Vea, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and William Gholston.

49ers Offense a Major Challenge

The 49ers offense is a major challenge for any defense, but the Bucs will be especially vulnerable without Kancey. San Francisco has a number of playmakers on offense, including quarterback Trey Lance, tight end George Kittle, and wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The Bucs will need to play their best game of the season on defense if they want to slow down the 49ers.

Conclusion

The Bucs have a tough task ahead of them on Sunday against the 49ers, especially with Kancey out. However, the Bucs have a talented defense, and they will need to play their best game of the season if they want to win.
