Per source I’m told #Bucs LB Devin White will be inactive today. It is not injury related, as White was able to practice this week.

We will talk to Todd Bowles after the game and hopefully Devin White. I’ve been told two things. It was Todd Bowles’ decision to make White inactive. The other one is that White told his coaches he didn’t think he could go today despite practicing all week.
