The Buccaneers had some serious questions heading into this marquee match-up with the Kansas City Chiefs along the left side of their offensive line. However, it would appear that their starting lineup will be intact. Tackle Donovan Smith and guard Ali Marpet are both active for the game and will start which is certainly good news given that backup center A.Q. Shipley suffered a career ending injury on Monday night against the Rams.
However, on the defensive side, the Bucs will be without cornerback Jamel Dean who also suffered an injury in Monday night’s loss to the Rams.
