The final injury reports for the Bucks and Titans for Sunday’s matchup were released this afternoon, revealing that Tampa Bay will be without one defensive back while the team’s top two cornerbacks are questionable.

Josh Hayes (concussion) was ruled out of Sunday’s game, but Jamel Dean (concussion) is still within regulation. Carlton Davis III (toe) is working his way up to playing on a limited basis on Friday and will be determined at game time. The other most notable injury designation is left guard Matt Feiler (knee), who is listed as questionable.
Even if he’s not ready yet, there’s no argument for the Bucks to use Aaron Stinney for the third consecutive game. Stinney has been playing well, but offensive coordinator Dave Canales wouldn’t confirm he was the starter when asked about him Thursday.
“Stinny [has done] Great job,” Canales said. “I don’t want to get into the details of what we’ll be doing this week, but… [Matt] Feiler is regaining health. In general, you don’t want to say a player loses his job due to injury, but it’s a very difficult decision for us at this point because of how well Stinney has been playing and Matt has been playing pretty well as well. [well] Even before that. I don’t want to give out too much other information. There are two good options at left guard. ”
Josh Hayes will be absent from Sunday’s game.
Matt Feiler has his doubts.
Jamel Dean is still in concussion protocol. He has to take some more tests.

What did Bucs HC Todd Bowles say on Friday?
Bucks head coach Todd Bowles had more to say about the status of some of the Bucks’ players after the game. “old school” Friday practice.
About Matt Feiler:
“Unless he fully recovers within the next two days, it is doubtful.”
“He got some reps today and is getting better. [and] He will make a decision during the game. ”
On who will start at outside cornerback opposite Zion McCollum if Jamel Dean and Davis are out:
“we have [Derrek] Pitts and [Keenan] Isaac is waiting and ready. ”
In addition to the players mentioned, rookies Kaliyah Kansi (quadriceps) and Trey Palmer (neck/illness) are also listed as questionable. Cuncey was not listed as injured on Wednesday, but was added on Thursday and has been limited for the past two days. Palmer was limited on Wednesday and sat out Thursday, but was in good shape for the final practice of the week.

Each rookie proved to be a valuable asset on the field, as Kariya Kansi had a devastating performance with five quarterback hits, four tackles for loss, and two sacks in the five games he played. Trey Palmer hasn’t contributed much to the statistical record, but he has scored two touchdowns and has held the role of third wide receiver all season.
Finally, second-year defensive lineman Logan Hall (groin) is listed as questionable as the fifth and final player. Although he did not play against his hometown Texans last week, it was encouraging that Hall, who had limited practice earlier in the week, practiced in full on Friday.
There is a bigger injury report on the Titans side with five players ruled out. The most notable absence is cornerback and former back Sean Murphy-Bunting. Tennessee’s top cornerback this season, Murphy Bunting, injured his thumb and will not return to Raymond James Stadium this Sunday. Wide receiver Treylon Burks (concussion) will also be sidelined, which will put more emphasis on DeAndre Hopkins and, to a lesser extent, Nick Westbrook-Iquine.
Right guard Daniel Brunskill (ankle) was also ruled out, weakening an offense that had struggled to get its quarterback on its feet. From the Bucs’ perspective, that only increases their chances of being able to put pressure on rookie quarterback Will Revis.
