Here is the full inactive report for the week eleven match-up between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins.

We were made aware of some of the inactives for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier in the week, including quarterback Jameis Winston for the second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a lingering shoulder issue. Vernon Hargreaves left last week’s game against the New York Jets with a hamstring injury and won’t be able to suit up against the Dolphins this week. As we saw with Kwon Alexander this season, hamstrings are tricky injuries and there’s never a true timetable for a player to return from them.

Here are the inactives for week eleven;

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Quarterback – Jameis Winston

Cornerback – Vernon Hargreaves

Center – Joe Hawley

Guard – Caleb Benenoch

Tight End – Luke Stocker

Defensive End – William Gholston

Defensive Tackle – Sealver Siliga

Miami Dolphins

Quarterback – David Fales

Cornerback – Jordan Lucas

Cornerback – Torry McTyer

Running Back – De’Veon Smith

Guard – Issac Asiata

Tackle – Zach Sterup

Wide Receiver – Leonte Carroo

Tight end Antony Auclair will be active for only the second time this season with Stocker ended up on the inactives list. Ryan Smith, as expected, will replace Vernon Hargreaves opposite Brent Grimes, and defensive end Darryl Tapp will fill in for Gholston who is still down with the neck injury that led to him being carted off the field against the New Orleans Saints two weeks ago.

The load will once again fall onto the shoulders of Ryan Fitzpatrick who is 1-0 in starts this season and the return of Mike Evans from suspension will provide a big, reliable target for Fitz that he didn’t have last week. Expect more short-to-intermediate passes to DeSean Jackson again this week as they will try to utilize his speed in space to create positive plays, rather than relying heavily on the deep ball.
