NFC South bragging rights are on the line again as the Bucs head to the Superdome — this time with fans in the stands— with a small lead in the standings and a chance to break the Saints' stranglehold on the regular-season series.

The Bucs have a big-time divisional matchup ahead of them this weekend with no shortage of storylines. Tom Brady and the Bucs' high-powered offense faces a stiff test this weekend against a Saints defense that has veteran stars at every level and is particularly strong in key situations.

The Bucs got defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh back in a full capacity on Thursday after a mostly unchanged practice report. This week, Bucs fans have questions about Tom Brady's touchdown ceiling, the quest to contain Alvin Kamara, the team's state of mind heading into New Orleans and more. The Buccaneers will be facing a familiar face under center when they play their division rivals for the first time this season. The Buccaneers got some good news when David, Gronkowski and Sherman returned to practice on Wednesday.

After improving to on the season, the Bucs are now firmly entrenched in the top three across major outlet power rankings. Tom Brady and Mike Evans put the dagger in Sunday on the best go route they've dialed up all season, one that took a perfect throw to make a low-percentage play work to perfection. The Buccaneers cruised their way to the best start in franchise history thanks to a dominating defensive effort, a clean game of complementary football and two receivers utilized to perfection.

Tampa Bay's best rushing effort of included a very high percentage of 'successful' plays and plus-yard jaunts, and only ran into trouble when it got close to the goal line.

Data Crunch: Mike Evans' three-touchdown game in Sunday's win made team history in a couple ways and put him just two behind Buc legend Mike Alstott on the team's all-time list. Tampa Bay is already pretty thin in its secondary, so expect Ross Cockrell to see expanded chances in a reserve role in place of Robinson. The cornerback's next chance to see the field will be in Week 11 against the Giants.

A Week 9 bye didn't give the veteran tight end enough time to get healthy after his return to the lineup Week 8 quickly ended with a bout of back spasms. Gronkowski now is set to miss his fifth game of the season, leaving Cameron Brate and O. Howard in a timeshare again. Neither has been consistent in terms of targets or production, even in the games Gronk has missed.

A third straight absence leaves Tyler Johnson with another shot to step in as the No. Godwin appears headed for a 'questionable' designation on the final injury report, while coach Bruce Arians left the door open for Scotty Miller toe to be activated from IR. It's not quite clear how it'll all shake out, but it is clear Brown will be out of the equation for at least one more game.

He did ditch his walking boot this week, perhaps setting the stage for a return to practice next week ahead of a Monday night matchup with the Giants on Nov. Murphy-Bunting hasn't played since Week 1 due to a dislocated elbow, but it seems he's made good progress since being designated to return to practice Nov. Tampa Bay's secondary has struggled in Murphy-Bunting's absence, but it looks like a return to the field could come as early as Sunday's road matchup against the Football Team.

Godwin has yet to practice this week coming out of Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, but there's hope that he's able to take the field in some capacity Friday. The year-old appears headed for a questionable tag at best, while fellow pass catchers Antonio Brown ankle and Rob Gronkowski back also haven't practiced this week.

Miller has been held out of action since Week 3 due to a turf toe injury, but he was cleared to resume practicing Nov. With Chris Godwin foot considered a game-time decision and Antonio Brown ankle still looking uncertain, Miller could have a chance to immediately step into a key role on offense if he's able to retake the field Sunday.

Delaney ankle was a full participant in Thursday's practice, per the Buccaneers ' official site. Delaney was limited by his ankle injury during Wednesday's practice session, but he fully participated Thursday. He was unable to play in Week 8, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for Sunday's game against Washington. Gronkowski back didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

While he didn't mix into individual or team drills, Gronkowski was spotted running on a side field with team trainers for a second consecutive session.

The lack of activity may indicate he's set to miss his fifth game of the season, but fortunately the tight end has one more chance Friday to put himself into a position to play after the Buccaneers ' Week 9 bye. Howard will man tight end for Tampa Bay. Brown ankle was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Meanwhile, Chris Godwin foot also missed a second straight session, leaving the Buccaneers with just three healthy wide receivers Mike Evans, Tyler Johnson and Jaelon Darden on the active roster. Friday's injury report could shed light on the state of the group as the Bucs prepare for Sunday's visit to Washington, but Brown doesn't seem to be trending toward a return to the lineup for that contest.

Godwin foot didn't practice Thursday. Following the Buccaneers ' Week 9 bye, Godwin has yet to step on the practice field due to a foot injury. He'll have one more session this week in which to prove his health, but he seems on pace to enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Washington.

Elsewhere in the receiving corps, Antonio Brown ankle and Rob Gronkowski back also didn't practice.
