Here are the full list of inactives for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets.
Another week of Tampa Bay Buccaneers football is about to take place and the inactives list is going to be a little more star studded than usual. Jameis Winston will be shut down for “a few weeks” while Mike Evans is serving his one game suspension this week. Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the start under center and Chris Godwin is expected to have a much larger role than he’s had thus far in 2017.
Here are the inactive players for each team;
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
QB – Jameis Winston
WR – Mike Evans (Suspended)
CB – Robert McClain
C – Joe Hawley
OL – Caleb Benenoch
TE – Antony Auclair
DE – William Gholston
DT – Sealver Siliga
New York Jets
QB – Christian Hackenberg
RB – Matt Forte
CB – Robert Nelson
CB – Derrick Jones
LB – David Bass
LB – Obum Gwacham
OL – Jonotthan Harrison
Ryan Russell will fill in for William Gholston and of course Ryan Fitzpatrick for Jameis Winston. Some other changes include the return of Brent Grimes to corner back, but will Vernon Hargreaves get the start on the outside or will he be moved inside for the third time in four weeks? If he’s at the nickel spot, Ryan Smith will get the start on the outside opposite Grimes.

With the Jets missing Matt Forte, there will be a heavy dose of the duo of Bilal Powell and Elijah Maguire to try to expose and already shaky Buccaneers run defense.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets kickoff at Raymond James Stadium at 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS.
