The Buccaneers will be facing a win-less Giants team at home this week.
Today, the Buccaneers will be facing a vulnerable Giants offense without valuable defensive pieces. Tampa Bay remains healthy offensively, but they will need some big plays against another tough defense.
Both teams have announced their inactive players; let’s take a look at the lists.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1)
S TJ Ward
LB Lavonte David
LB Kwon Alexander
T Leonard Wester
C Joe Hawley
TE Antony Auclair

DT Sealiver Siliga
There are no surprises on this inactive list. It was well known that Kwon, Lavonte, and Ward would be missing this game. With the defensive line hoping to back at full health, Siliga finds himself on the inactive list.
New York Giants (0-3)
QB Davis Webb
CB Michael Hunter
RB Orleans Darkwa
LB Deontae Skinner
T Bobby Hart
TE Matt LaCosse
DE Avery Moss
The Giants do not appear to be missing any key players. Darkwa is a solid running back, but he’s been limited for New York this season when active anyway.
The Buccaneers offensive line will be tasked with slowing down a loaded Giants defensive front. Defensive end Olivier Vernon was thought to possibly miss this one, but he is active as his team looks to avoid a dreaded 0-4 start.
On the other side, a relatively healthy Bucs defensive line should feast on a weak Giants offensive line. This game will be won in the trenches, and hopefully the Bucs lines will play better.
There you have it, the complete inactive lists for the Buccaneers vs Giants Week 4 match-up.
