Next men up? All of these guys are expected starters today after the Bucs' recent run of injuries: Antonio Brown, Tyler Johnson, Ronald Jones, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, Kevin Minter and Mike Edwards.

An early look at Antonio Brown...we haven't seen him play since Week 6 at Philadelphia. Bruce Arians said the ankle is fine. We'll see what his play stamina is like today, but Arians said he wouldn't be on a snap count. He'll come out if he needs a breather. pic.twitter.com/ql1ZnrYfzt

My updated fantasy lineup today with numerous COVID absences: QB: Tom Brady RB: Frank Gore RB: Duke Johnson WR: Tre'Quan Smith WR: Reggie Wayne TE: Blake Bell D/ST: Seahawks K: Justin Tucker

Even if Gilmore shadows AB all game, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson have matchups they should win. Those guys gotta finally step up. twitter.com/pewterreport/s…

Ryan Succop's 48-yard field goal, which ties for his longest of the year, increases the Bucs' lead to 32-6 with eight minutes to play.

Bruce Arians on S Jordan Whitehead's performance: "I thought Jordan was all over the place today."

Most TDs vs. the Giants since 2019 8 … Boston Scott 7 … Ezekiel Elliott 5 … Mike Evans 3 … Amari Cooper 3 … Chase Edmonds 3 … Cooper Kupp

That's a 62-yard pass to Cyril Grayson. First and goal at the 7 ...

I certainly meant no disrespect to @AB84 by asking him what it meant that Bruce Arians stood in his corner after what some would have considered a "screw up." He's allowed to answer how he feels. That's his right. But I can assure you, I care about honesty -- not "drama."

Saints safety P.J. Williams was not fined for his hit to Bucs WR Chris Godwin that resulted in Godwin tearing his ACL, per source.

Rob Gronkowski with his first catch, 23 yards to the 9. First and goal.

Bucs will have Richard Sherman back active and healthy today. Top three corners are all good to go so he's depth in the secondary -- played some in dime package and as a deep safety before his Achilles injury.

BREAKING: #Bucs WR Breshad Perriman OUT for today's game. Did not clear COVID protocols.

Anthony Nelson gets Bucs' third sack of the game.

Bucs' seven sacks today is their most in three seasons under Todd Bowles as defensive coordinator.

Vita Vea gets Bucs' fourth sack of the day to force a punt.

Bucs making their season debuts today: WR Justin Watson, DL Benning Potoa'e, P Sterling Hofrichter. Lots of injury and COVID replacements pressed into duty today.

#Bucs are UNDEFEATED – to be 5-0 this year – when Blaine Gabbert plays. #Fact #Truth #Analytics

For Bucs to have no Lavonte David, Jason Pierre-Paul or Antoine Winfield, lose Shaq Barrett just after halftime and still have a six on the scoreboard for Carolina is impressive. twitter.com/Dominican0809_…

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, and there are plenty of big names who won’t be suiting up for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Wide receiver Mike Evans, safety Antoine Winfield Jr., and outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul are all inactive for Sunday’s game, as the Bucs look to clinch their first NFC South title since 2007

Back in October, many Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans wondered whether or not running back Ronald Jones II would be moved by the defending Super Bowl champions at the NFL trade deadline.

After all, Leonard Fournette had become the clear-cut leader in the offensive backfield, and Jones wasn’t getting many opportunities as a change-of-pace runner.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians was adamant the team had no interest in trading Jones, and it appears that stance had multiple teams disappointed at the deadline

Kevin Minter gets Bucs' sixth sack of the day for a fourth-down stop.

Scotty Miller gets his first target on a third-and-10 from Gabbert, but he can't bring it in and Bucs will punt.

Dee Delaney gets the pass breakup on second-and-goal to preserve the #Bucs streak of now two straight games without allowing a touchdown. That's it for the game! Bucs beat the #Panthers 32-6 and win the NFC South division for the first time since 2007!

So Bucs will go with Sterling Hofrichter at punter today with Pinion sidelined by a hip injury. Only healthy scratches are Trask and Pierre Desir.

Bucs will lean on Davis, Dean and Murphy-Bunting heavy. If any of them are sidelined, they have Cockrell, Sherman and Rashard Robinson. twitter.com/j_salzer/statu…

Also left out JPP being out and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka in his place.
