Lions vs Buccaneers inactives for both teams, Second round pick to not play, James Houston is in

The Detroit Lions will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in less than two hours in a playoff rematch from last January, but first we need to look at who won't be playing in this game for both teams. Let's start with the Lions.

Lions Inactives

• Edge Marcus Davenport
• S Ifeatu Melifonwu
• WR Isaiah Williams
• CB Ennis Rakestraw
• LB Trevor Nowaske
• OT Giovanni Manu
• OT Colby Sorsdal

Not a great look that Marcus Davenport is already dealing with injuries after just one game. This guy just can't catch a break. This does mean we'll see James Houston make his season debut though.

Ennis Rakestraw being out is big surprise. I don't know what's going on there. Sorsdal not playing means Sewell is in.

Looks like both receivers elevated yesterday will also be active for this one. Lost of stuff to keep an eye on.

Buccaneers Inactives

• S Antoine Winfield
• RT Luke Goedeke
• CB Josh Hayes
• DT Calijah Kancey
• TE Devin Culp
• LB Jose Ramirez
• DL Ben Stille

The Bucs are missing some key players here. Their All-Pro safety Winfield is the big one, but their starting right tackle Goedeke and their starting defensive tackle Kancey is a big deal too.
