We are around ninety minutes from kickoff at Raymond James Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and both teams have released their inactive lists for this afternoon\u2019s contest. Let\u2019s take a look at who will be sitting this one out for both sides.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., who did not travel with the team yesterday due to a personal issue, has made it to Tampa and is active for today\u2019s game. The team elevated Tavierre Thomas from the practice squad and then decided to deactivate him, so he must have been insurance in the event that Pace wasn\u2019t going to be available. As we\u2019ve said throughout the week, veteran Johnny Hekker will handle the punting and holding duties with Thorson sidelined for this one. And two of the Vikings\u2019 three third-round picks from April\u2019s draft remain inactive, with Tiernan and Jakobe Thomas still waiting to make their NFL debuts.<\/p>\n
Bain and Trotter were the Bucs\u2019 first two picks in this past April\u2019s draft, and they\u2019re both out today with injuries. Bain was ruled out on Tampa\u2019s final injury report while Trotter was listed as doubtful, so neither of them comes as a surprise. There were no other Buccaneers players with an injury designation, so no real surprises on the injury report for the home team going into this one.<\/p>\n
Those are your inactive lists for today\u2019s Week 3 matchup, folks. We\u2019ll have our Open Thread for today\u2019s game dropping at around 2:30 PM Central, and we hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are around ninety minutes from kickoff at Raymond James Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and the Tampa…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[162689,62118,135,137,136],"class_list":["post-412240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-minnesota-vikings-game-information","tag-minnesota-vikings-news","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
