Bucs Nation
The 7-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are home this week to take on the 2-10 New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are coming off a much needed win against the Cardinals last week, and will hope to make it back-to-back victories Sunday against a divisional opponent. However, they’ll have to wait at least one more week for extra reinforcements.
The Bucs saw the return of wide receivers Jalen McMillan and Mike Evans to the practice field this past week. They are eligible to be activated off of I.R. any time in the next couple weeks — but it just won’t be happening this week as both will not be active against New Orleans.
Additionally on offense, left tackle Tristan Wirfs was questionable heading into this game. He has been officially ruled out for this contest.
The Buccaneers look healthy defensively, for the most part. Safety Rashad Wisdom and cornerback Benjamin Morrison were ruled out ahead of Sunday.
For the Saints, they will be without running back Alvin Kamara, tackle Tailese Fuaga, and safety Justin Reid.
The full list of inactives for both the Buccaneers and the Saints are posted below.
