The list of inactives is out for Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Detroit LionsQB Drew Stanton RB Keiland Williams OT Jason Fox OG Jacques McClendon DT Nick Fairley LB Doug Hogue CB Alphonso Smith |
Tampa Bay BuccaneersRB Allen Bradford WR Detron Lewis TE Zack Pianalto OT Derek Hardman OT Demar Dotson CB Anthony Gaitor SS Larry Asante |
For the Lions, Fox, Fairley and Smith are out because of injuries. They were ruled out on the injury report on Friday. All three are recovering from foot injuries, and although Smith did practice, he's not ready to play just yet.
Also on the injury report for the Lions are running back Maurice Morris and defensive tackle Andre Fluellen. These two players are recovering from hand injuries and are listed as probable on the injury report. Both players are active for Sunday's game, so it appears they will play.
(Note: Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch was on the injury report on Wednesday after missing practice, but he simply had a day off. Throughout the season it's unlikely he will practice on Wednesdays.)
