Buccaneers rule three players out for Sunday’s game vs. Saints

Bruce Arians says CB M.J. Stewart and OLBs Anthony Nelson and Carl Nassib have been ruled for Sunday’s game. – Scott Smith (@ScottSBucs) November 15, 2019 This is a bit late for a correction but I obviously left the word “out” out below. Those three …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without cornerback M.J. Stewart and outside linebackers Anthony Nelson and Carl Nassib this Sunday when they take on the New Orleans Saints at home.

The good news for the Bucs is that head coach Bruce Arians believes cornerback Carlton Davis, who was limited in practice yesterday with a hip injury, will be ready to go on Sunday.

Tampa Bay will need Davis to help them contain Saints quarterback Drew Brees and receivers like Michael Thomas. The Bucs parted ways with former first-round pick and veteran cornerback Vernon Hargreaves earlier this week after his lack of hustle in last Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals, so a depleted secondary will need to step up since the Saints will no doubt look to exploit the Bucs’ greatest weakness. Hopefully, Davis will be back on the field to help.
