Buccaneers lucky with injuries, despite ailments for Mike Evans and Demar Dotson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been hit by injuries this offseason, but so far the effects have been fairly limited. Mike Evans will be out for the preseason and perhaps a little longer with a hamstring strain, while Demar Dotson is likely to miss between three to six games with a sprained MCL -- but the Bucs brought in veteran Gosder Cherilus to replace Dotson for that period of time.

Beyond those two, the Bucs have had no serious injuries to starters. Akeem Spence will miss probably the first half of the season with a back injury, but it's not clear he'd even make the roster given the depth at defensive tackle.
