The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a crucial game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but injuries threaten their chances. Five of the seven inactive players are sidelined due to injuries, including linebackers J.J. Russell and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, along with cornerback Josh Hayes. This leaves the team vulnerable as they prepare to defend against Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.

However, nickel cornerback Tykee Smith is set to return, which could bolster the Buccaneers' defense. With key players out, Tampa Bay will need to rely on Vi Jones and Antonio Grier Jr. to step up alongside Lavonte David.
