The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just announced their inactives list for Monday Night Football, and everybody we expected to be out is indeed out. Most notably, that means running back Doug Martin will not play, and neither will backup Charles Sims, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this week.
Defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Clinton McDonald as well as defensive end Robert Ayers are all out, leaving William Gholston as the only healthy, starting defensive lineman for Tampa Bay.
On the plus side, rookie pass-rusher Noah Spence is healthy, which should be a boost for the team’s pass rush if not the run defense.
