Bucs vs. Falcons Gameday Inactives For Week 7

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.

Anthony Nelson (concussion) Vita Vea (legs) There was some uncertainty, but now we have an answer as Week 7’s inactive information has been revealed.

Bucks Inactives vs. Falcons

Anthony Nelson and Vita Vea were both previously listed as questionable, but were cleared to play ahead of Sunday’s game. Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports. As a result, all of Tampa Bay’s inactives in Week 7 are healthy scratches.

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.

This week against Tampa Bay, quarterback Logan Woodside (emergency No. 3 quarterback), cornerback Clark Phillips, offensive guard Jovon Gwynn, tight end John Fitzpatrick and defensive lineman Eli Ankou, Albert Huggins and Joe Gaziano were all placed on the unavailable list.
