Find the full inactives for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Giants Week 11 matchup. Tampa Bay will be shorthanded on the defensive side of the ball.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants released their official inactives for their Week 11 game.
Tampa Bay will be extremely shorthanded on defense as multiple starters will be forced to sit out.
The biggest loss for Tampa will be former All-Pro Lavonte David. He suffered an MCL sprain a week ago and wasn’t able to practice this week.
Defensive end Vinny Curry will miss his fourth contest of the season and put the bulk of the pass rush duties on the shoulders of former Giants star Jason Pierre-Paul.

Curry was a high-profile signing this offseason. After winning a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, injury have taken a toll on his first season with the Bucs.
In the secondary, Tampa will be down a pair of starters. Safety Justin Evans is out with a toe injury. Nickel corner M.J. Stewart is out with a toe injury as well.
New York can take advantage of the banged-up Bucs defense. However, the Bucs are in a position to put up points of their own. The only offensive contributor sitting out is rookie running back Ronald Jones.
