Buccaneers vs. Vikings: Inactives for Week 3

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are entering their upcoming matchup against the Minnesota Vikings shorthanded on defense, missing rookies Rueben Bain Jr. and Josiah Trotter due to groin and shoulder injuries respectively.

Additionally, Rakeem Nunez-Roches was a late scratch following an ankle issue during warmups, though cornerback Jacob Parrish and wide receiver Jalen McMillan are available. On the opposing side, the Minnesota Vikings will be without seven athletes, prompting Johnny Hekker to step in as punter after Brett Thorson sustained a hamstring problem, while J.J.

McCarthy serves as the emergency third quarterback.

Kickoff for this interconference contest between the winless Buccaneers and the undefeated Vikings is set for the late afternoon. Both squads finalized their respective inactive lists ahead of the opening whistle.
