Buccaneers: Week nine inactives vs Saints

Here is the full list of inactive players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints in their week nine match-up.

The full list of inactive players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints has been released.

We knew that Brent Grimes would miss another week for the Bucs with his shoulder injury, leaving a rising Vernon Hargreaves on the outside. The big question is, can he maintain his recently high level of play against the speed of players like Michael Thomas or Ted Ginn Jr. in the Superdome?

Here are your inactive players;

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

CB – Brent Grimes

CB – Deji Olatoye

DE – Darryl Tapp

T – Leonard Wester

C – Joe Hawley

TE – Antony Auclair

DT – Sealver Siliga

New Orleans Saints

S – Rafael Bush

QB – Taysom Hill

C – Cameron Tom

G – Larry Warford

WR – Austin Carr

DT- John Hughes

DE – Al-Quadin Muhammad

Corner back Robert McClain will return for the Buccaneers this week, replacing inactive Brent Grimes in the starting lineup. No big surprises on the Saints’ front as far as inactive players. That will be a tall test for McClain, who is usually reserved for the nickel spot and had an extremely costly penalty against the Bills which also resulted in his concussion.

It’s also become puzzling as to why the Bucs signed Darryl Tapp. He was supposed to provide depth at defensive end but has not been active since becoming a Buccaneer.
