The Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers each released their initial injury report on Wednesday, following their first official practice of the week. Similar to most weeks in the NFL, this injury report wasn’t without drama as there are a number of critical players to keep your eye on as the week progresses.

The teams have yet to assign injury designations to the players–that will come after Friday’s practice–but we can assume some key players will at least be questionable. The Packers listed 11 players on their initial injury report, with 10 of them being limited participants in practice and the other a full participant. Tampa Bay listed nine players with Antonio Brown being the lone player who did not practice.

As we await more information from the teams, let’s take a look at three players to keep your eye on as the week moves on.

3. Mason Crosby

The awful Packers’ special teams struck again in the Divisional Round on a botched extra-point attempt that went from bad to worse. When holder J.K. Scott fumbled the off-target snap, he picked the ball up before flipping it to Mason Crosby who was quickly tackled. In the tackle attempt, unfortunately, Crosby hurt his shoulder. He did return for the second half and made his only extra-point attempt. However, he’s listed with a shoulder injury and we’ll have to keep an eye on the clutch kicker moving forward.
