TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't be forced to start two rookie cornerbacks against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Bucs coach Bruce Arians said starting cornerback Carlton Davis will play, seeing his first action since suffering a hip injury two weeks ago in warm-ups against the Seattle Seahawks.
Jamel Dean, who had played just three defensive snaps before the game, replaced him in Seattle and surrendered three touchdowns in a 40-34 overtime loss, but last week produced a game-winning interception in a 30-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
