The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns named their game day inactives on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week Nine matchup at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game, and that required just six inactives for Tampa Bay on Sunday as they carried only 52 men into the game.
The Bucs will have to use an injury replacement at left tackle for the first time since Donald Penn made his first start in 2007. With Anthony Collins out with a foot injury, the team will turn to veteran Oniel Cousins, the former Brown. Also, Bobby Rainey will make his third start of the season in place of RB Doug Martin, who is out with an ankle injury.
The Browns will be without starting tight end Cameron Jordan and DL Phil Taylor.
