There were many unknowns, and various speculations were made. Encloses who is available and who is not available I’m playing for the Bucks today. A lot of interesting last-minute breaking news provided clarity. Tampa Bay’s game day inactive players are:
Buccaneers Week 15 Inactive Players:
CB Carlton Davis
DL Will Golston
CB Josh Hayes
S. Ryan Neal
T Brandon Walton
LB Devin White
QB John Wolford— Scott Smith (@ScottSBucs) December 17, 2023
Cornerback Carlton Davis III, safety Ryan Neal and defensive lineman Will Golston had all been ruled out by that date. Cornerback Josh Hayes arrived very late today with an illness that will keep him out of action as well. But the top news here is Devin White. White was initially listed as questionable for the team, a mid-game decision. He’s been inactive, but that doesn’t seem to be due to poor pregame training.
According to sources, #backs LB Devin White will be inactive today. White was able to practice this week, so it’s not injury related.

White had missed the past two games due to injury. Reserve linebackers KJ Britt, JJ Russell and Sarvosia Dennis all saw playing time in the last month, and all outperformed White. The Bucs appear to be making coaching decisions to give young linebackers more opportunities.
Bucks get big man back
The big news is that the team welcomes back NT Vita Vea, who missed last week’s divisional game against the Falcons. Baer joins cornerback Jamel Dean and receiver Chris Godwin as players listed as questionable to play today.

Green Bay is also dealing with injuries.
The Packers had some playmakers who weren’t positive about their play today, but the news was good on most fronts.
Aaron Jones is active.

Green Bay will be without young receiver Christian Watson, star cornerback Jaire Alexander and platoon running back AJ Dilo, but starting running back Aaron Jones is scheduled to return for today’s game.
