Buccaneers at Ravens Week 15 inactives
By Ryan Doyle
Check out the full injury report for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens Week 15 matchup.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens released their official inactives for Sunday’s Week 15 contest.
Tampa Bay announced on Friday that both safety Justin Evans and DeSean Jackson would miss the game against the Ravens.
Evans has dealt with injuries for the past month. Evans has been held out of four of the last five games. Although Evans projects to be one of the Bucs foundational pieces down the road, an injury-riddled second season has slowed his development.
Jackson has been hampered with a thumb injury that has left him sidelined since late November. Jackson still cannot squeeze a football. The Bucs will be without a critical deep threat on Sunday. If Tampa Bay cannot stretch the field, it could be a long day for Jameis Winston and the offense.

Another key injury for the Bucs will be Adarius Taylor. He was starting at middle linebacker with Kwon Alexander done for the season. With Kevin Minter hitting the injured reserve earlier this week, Tampa Bay’s linebacking situation may be a problem.
The only Bucs linebackers available are Lavonte David, Devante Bond, Riley Bullough and Cameron Lynch.
