With the Buccaneers season finally kicking off, let’s take a look at the inactives for the game.
Get pumped Bucs fans, it’s time to see the 2017 Buccaneers in action. Luckily for Tampa, they have not dealt with many injuries, and will be fairly healthy going into this Week 2 match-up. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the inactives on both sides.

LB Devante Bond
TE Antony Auclair
DE Will Clarke
Some of these names are surprising to see. In
particular, Elliott and Hawley. Both figured to be key reserves but them being inactive must be a good sign of depth.
Bond was the only Buc dealing with injury so it is not completely surprising to see him inactive. Smith did not recover as quickly as expected and will be missed in the pass rush this week.
Bears Inactives:
QB Mark Sanchez
NT John Jenkins
LG Kyle Long
Chicago will be missing key interior pieces on both sides of the line in Jenkins and Long. The Bears secondary will be taking a hit as well with Amukamara and Bush out. Not to mention the already injury-ravaged Bears WR core is short another receiver in Wheaton.
There you have it Bucs fans, the inactives for Week 2.
