Tampa Bay Bucs at New England Patriots Inactive Lists: Carlton Davis active
Kickoff between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New England is nearly here. Both teams released their inactive lists ahead of the game on Sunday night.
As expected and already reported, the Bucs will be without a number of key players including tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs), cornerback Jamel Dean (knee), outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder), and running back Giovani Bernard (knee.)
While that group will be out, Tampa Bay will have cornerback Carlton Davis (abdomen, ribs) active vs. the Patriots. David had been downgraded to questionable on Saturday's injury report. He did not, however, appear on Sunday's inactive list.
Gronk, Pierre-Paul, Dean, and Bernard had already been ruled out ahead of Sunday. Gronk and Pierre-Paul did not travel with the Bucs to New England, the team said.
The Bucs will also have wide receiver Jaydon Mickens back after missing one game with an abdomen injury. Mickens is expected to resume returning punts and kickoffs. Because of Micken's return, rookie Jaelon Darden will once again be inactive.
Here is a full look at the inactive list for the Tampa Bay Bucs for Week Four:
- RB Giovani Bernard
- WR Jaelon Darden
- CB Jamel Dean
- TE Rob Gronkowski
