The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints named their game-day inactives on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week 11 contest at Raymond James Stadium. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game.
The Buccaneers' defense gets a key player back as starting cornerback is active after a two-game absence caused by a hip injury. The Bucs are without cornerback M.J. Stewart due to a knee injury, however, and recently promoted rookie cornerback Mazzi Wilkins is inactive, as well.
Tampa Bay will still be without outside linebackers Carl Nassib (groin) and Anthony Nelson (hamstring), which means Sam Acho and Kahzin Daniels will once again serve as the reserves behind Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.
The Saints will be missing a key starter on each side of the ball, as both cornerback Marshon Lattimore and left guard Andrus Peat are sidelined by injuries they suffered last Sunday against Atlanta. In addition, kickoff and punt return man Deonte Harris is inactive due to injury.
