The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings named their game-day inactives on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week Three contest at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game.
Four of the Buccaneers' seven inactive players are out due to illness or injury, including three starters on defense. The flu bug that afflicted the team throughout the week will keep starting defensive tackle Chris Baker and defensive end Jacquies Smith out of action on Sunday, although starting left guard has been cleared to play.
