Tampa Bay took Egbuka in the first round out of Ohio State, which is the kind of thing that used to mean a franchise was handing a receiver the offense. Here it mostly means the Buccaneers found another good one and are figuring out the pecking order as they go. At his age, with his pedigree, the boring weeks are the cost of doing business.

The week centered on whether Egbuka would be ready for the season opener. On September 2, NBC ProFootballTalk relayed Todd Bowles saying Egbuka and Jalen McMillan were "headed in the right direction." The Fantasy Footballers asked directly whether he'd be ready for Week 1, and The Fantasy Football Show reported he looked great in Wednesday's practice. By Monday, both the Buccaneers' own updates (Scott Smith) and NBC ProFootballTalk (Myles Simmons) confirmed Egbuka and McMillan returned to practice, describing it as their "first taste" of the week. The team's social channels promoted his second season ahead of the September 13 home game against Cincinnati. Separately, NBC Rotoworld Football included him alongside Justin Jefferson in its Week 1 Regression Files column, an opinion piece worth reading before setting lineups.
