The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled out four starters against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Running back Doug Martin, tight end Luke Stocker and defensive end Robert Ayers were all ruled out after missing practice this week. In addition, fourth-string wide receiver Cecil Shorts was also ruled out.
The Bucs also listed linebacker Lavonte David, left tackle Donovan Smith and safety Ryan Smith as questionable, though all three should be good to go on Sunday. If David or Smith misses Sunday’s game, that will be a big blow to the Bucs’ already significant depth issues.
