Football is officially back, but not everyone will be hitting the field for the Tampa Bay Bucacneers in Week 1. We already knew about a few injuries, like Chris Godwin and Tristan Wirfs starting the year on the sideline but the late inactives list that came out ahead of Sunday's clash with the Falcons was even more less than ideal.
The Bucs will begin the season without two key defensive players: Christian Izien and rookie Benjamin Morrison.
It's not unfair to call Morrison a key player, as the Bucs used a premium pick on him in the NFL Draft this year and have plans for him to be a significant part of the secondary.
