Cold Night & Playoffs Inactives for Tampa Bay at WFT

Alex Smith is officially a no-go. No rotation. No start. Not even active as his calf did not respond. Taylor Heinicke starts & the rest of the inactives.

LANDOVER, Md. -- The official inactive list for Saturday's NFC Wild Card Round matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Football Team at FedEx Field is in. 

Alex Smith, as we've been on all week, is officially listed as out. There was a lot of confusion about this particular issue as the team did not know how he would respond t his injury, but ultimately this week's messaging was very different than the one leading up to Philadelphia.
