The injury reports for the Bucks and Falcons have been sparse all week, reflecting the fact that both teams are fairly healthy heading into Sunday afternoon’s matchup at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay had several players questionable on its final injury report Friday afternoon, while Atlanta had none.

Other than Watts being replaced by a healthy Nelson, this group of inactive players is the same as it was a week ago against the Lions. That means rookie tight end Payne Durham will be filling in for David Wells for the second straight week. Durham caught his first career pass in the loss to Detroit and could be a red zone threat for Tampa Bay’s offense as a big tight end.

Meanwhile, the visiting Falcons had no surprises on the inactive list.
