The Detroit Lions have released their inactive player list for the Week 2 visit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With two players ruled out due to injuries and another doubtful, this week’s inactive list wasn’t too surprising. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu and wide receiver Isaiah Williams were ruled out during the final injury status update. EDGE Marcus Davenport was listed as doubtful on that report, and no player listed as doubtful under Dan Campbell has ever been active for a game in Detroit.
Wide receiver Jameson Williams was listed as questionable but he will play, as reported earlier this weekend.
The healthy scratches include some rookie draft picks:
CB Ennis Rakestraw
OL Giovanni Manu
OL Colby Sorsdal
LB Trevor Nowaske
Rakestraw had a special teams gaffe in Week 1 that might have led to his sitting. Sorsdal, Manu and Nowaske were all inactive in Week 1.
