Buccaneers announce inactives ahead of Week 3 vs Broncos

No surprises but does show cause for concern on the defensive line in what could be considered a trap game for the Buccaneers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announce inactives ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos. It doesn’t feature any surprises but does show cause for concern on the defensive line in what could be considered an early-season trap game for the Buccaneers.

  • TE Devin Culp
  • T Luke Goedeke
  • WR Kameron Johnson
  • DT Calijah Kancey
  • OLB Jose Ramirez
  • DT Vita Vea
  • S Antonie Winfield Jr

Luke Goedeke will miss another game in concussion protocol, which puts Justin Skule back in the starting role, looking to recover from a rough outing, allowing 4.5 sacks to Aidan Hutchinson last Sunday. The good news is that while the Broncos blitz at the highest rate in the NFL on passing plays, Baker Mayfield is the 2nd best quarterback in the league against the blitz. Also, Skule will not have to block anyone near the same level as Hutchinson.

Clijah Kancey is a big miss after going down with a calf injury and missing practice all week, especially with Vea not suiting up and William Gholston missing practice on Wednesday with a knee and logging two limited practice designations on Thursday and Friday.
