The Buccaneers have ruled just one player out in advance of Sunday night's rematch with the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Left guard Ali Marpet sat out all week with a concussion suffered in Monday night's game against the Giants. He has yet to clear concussion protocol and will therefore be unavailable for the upcoming game.

On a positive note, Head Coach Bruce Arians said he anticipates that wide receiver Chris Godwin will play in some capacity on Sunday, depending on how sore his finger is from Friday's practice. Godwin underwent surgery on his finger last week but was able to catch the ball in practice on Friday. He is officially listed as questionable.

Both New Orleans defensive back Justin Hardee and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, who had not practiced all week, were moved to IR as of Friday. Wide receiver Michael Thomas, who hasn't played since Week One against the Bucs, was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's rematch. Quarterback Drew Brees was upgraded to full participation on Friday as well.
