The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys named their game-day inactives on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week 15 contest at AT&T Stadium. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game.
Tackle Demar Dotson was ruled out on Friday due to a concussion, which means veteran Gosder Cherilus will man the right tackle spot for the second week in a row. However, wide receiver Adam Humphries and safety Chris Conte are returning to action this week. In addition, two key members of the defense – defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and linebacker Lavonte David – have been cleared to play after being listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
The Cowboys' defense will be down a usual starter, as a back ailment will keep defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on the sideline. In addition, cornerback Morris Claiborne, who has not played since late October, remains out with a groin injury.
