The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the signing of running back Le'Veon Bell official on Wednesday while Lavonte David, Mike Evans, and Antoine Winfield Jr. all missed practice. On the flip side, both Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards were back and ready to go as the Bucs look to clinch the NFC South on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Speaking of the Panthers, I'm joined by Julian Council, host of Locked On Panthers to preview the upcoming game. Julian wants to know about how the Bucs can overcome all the injuries sustained last week, how the loss to New Orleans affected their playoff standing as well as potential finish, and my opinion on the comments made - both past and present - by Bruce Arians regarding Antonio Brown.

On the flip side, I ask Julian about Cam Newton's return and impact on the team, why D.J. Moore all of a sudden goes from a number one wide receiver to a forgotten man, and who should Bucs fans be on the lookout for against this Panthers defense that still plays well but is missing some key pieces.

Finally, we drop our score predictions for the week sixteen matchup and the first of two matchups over the last three weeks of the season between the Bucs and Panthers.
