Bucs kicker Chase McLaughlin will play against Seahawks

UPDATE (Sunday): Bucs place-kicker Chase McLaughlin, who was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness but no injury designation, will play today against the Seahawks. He’s battling a stomach illness.

All five inactive Bucs are out with injuries: cornerbacks Jamel Dean and Benjamin Morrison, wide receiver Mike Evans, running back Bucky Irving and safety Christian Izien.

DEVELOPING: As if missing their top offensive players in running back Bucky Irving and receiver Mike Evans wasn’t enough, the Bucs also could be without their leading scorer.

Placekicker Chase McLaughlin was added to the injury report on Saturday with an illness. He does not have an injury designation for Sunday, meaning his status for the game against the Seahawks in Seattle is currently unknown.

McLaughlin connected on a club-record 65-yard field goal last week against the Eagles. He also made a 58-yarder.

McLaughlin did travel with the team to Seattle on Saturday.

Irving has a foot injury and a shoulder strain. Evans remains out with a hamstring strain.

Tampa Bay also will be without defensive backs Jamel Dean (hip), Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) and Christian Izien (quad).

Running backs coach Skip Peete, who was hospitalized overnight for observation Wednesday after collapsing at practice, is accompanying the team to Seattle and will coach against the Seahawks. Peete was treated for dehydration.
