Buccaneers vs. Panthers inactives: Ryan Smith gets start in Brent Grimes’ place

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without their top two cornerbacks today, but are otherwise mostly healthy. The official inactives for the Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers, who play each other at 1:00 p.m. today, saw no surprises.

The Bucs will be without cornerbacks Brent Grimes, Josh Robinson, and Robert McClain. That means second-year players Vernon Hargreaves, Ryan Smith and Javien Elliott will likely see the bulk of the cornerback snaps today. Of these, only Hargreaves has gotten significant playing time this season—and he was benched for McClain just last week.
