Colts, Buccaneers Announce Inactives Ahead of Sunday's Matchup
In this story:
The Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off on Sunday in a matchup of two teams still fighting for their postseason lives.
The Colts enter in relatively good health while the Buccaneers are quite banged up.
Prior to Sunday, the Colts ruled out cornerback JuJu Brents (quad), center Ryan Kelly (concussion), and tight end Drew Ogletree (foot). Linebacker Grant Stuard (illness) was questionable but active.
The Buccaneers ruled out linebacker Lavonte David (groin), cornerback Jamel Dean (ankle/foot), and defensive lineman Mike Green (calf). Cornerback Carlton Davis (hip), defensive lineman Logan Hall (illness), linebacker Devin White (foot), and running back Rachaad White (knee) were all questionable but active.
Here are both teams' lists of inactive players.
- CB JuJu Brents (quad)
- OL Arlington Hambright
- C Ryan Kelly (concussion)
- LB Cameron McGrone
- TE Drew Ogletree (foot)
- WR Juwann Winfree
With Brents out for a third straight game, Darrell Baker Jr. is expected to resume replacing Brents at outside corner alongside Kenny Moore II in the slot and Jaylon Jones also outside.
In Kelly's absence, Wesley French should get the nod, seeing action in his sixth game of the season.
Ogletree will miss his second consecutive game, which makes rookie tight end Will Mallory active alongside Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox.
Hambright, McGrone, and Winfree are healthy scratches.
The Colts announced on Saturday that they elevated wide receiver D.J. Montgomery to the active roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game.
- LB Lavonte David (groin)
- CB Jamel Dean (ankle/foot)
- OLB Cam Gill
- DL Mike Greene (calf)
- RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn
- OT Brandon Walton
- QB John Wolford
This week's injuries are quite impactful for the Buccaneers, who will be without their top linebacker (David) and top cornerback (Dean).
