Is Emeka Egbuka playing today? Why Bucs WR is off to slow start in Week 18 image

Emeka Egbuka has been quiet for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the last few weeks.

Though Egbuka got off to a fast start to his rookie season, the Ohio State product has tallied just one game with over 60 receiving yards since Week 11.

Egbuka hasn't played a key role in Tampa Bay's passing game lately, and we're seeing more of the same so far in Week 18 versus the Carolina Panthers.

Is Emeka Egbuka playing today?

Yes, Egbuka is active and playing.

However, he didn't garner a target during the Bucs' opening drive, which ended in a Baker Mayfield touchdown to Cade Otton. It is raining in Tampa Bay, so that could affect Egbuka's production.

We'll see if Egbuka can get it going and make an impact.
