• RB Ryan Mathews: Ryan Mathews' nagging injuries haven't stopped him from being productive whenever he has gotten opportunities, as he has played through an assortment of injuries, including a groin injury last week against the Dolphins. On the season, Mathews is running for 6.1 yards per carry. However, he has not passed the concussion protocol and will not play Sunday. Earlier today, we covered how his absence will affect the Eagles' rushing attack.
• OL Josh Andrews: Andrews was previously out with a concussion, but with Jason Peters healthy, he moves back to the inactive list.
• DE Brandon Bair: Bair has been more productive than Taylor Hart when he has gotten his opportunities, but Hart remains active in favor of Bair.
• LB Emmanuael Acho: Added to the roster after Jordan Hicks went on season-ending IR.
• CB Denzel Rice: With a healthy secondary, Rice returns to the inactive list.
• OL Tanner Hawkinson: Another recent addition after the Eagles uffered some injuries along their OL.
The Bucs' inactives are as follows: TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, DE Josh Shirley, DE George Johnson, G Ali Marpet, QB Ryan Griffin, WR Donteea Dye, and S Kimario McFadden.
