Here we go. The final game of a frustrating and disappointing 2018 season. Many believe this will be the last time we see Dirk Koetter roaming the sidelines for the Buccaneers. Some believe it’s the last time we’ll see the likes of Gerald McCoy, DeSean Jackson, Demar Dotson, and more in a Bucs uniform.
All that said, there will be changes ahead for this franchise and all we can do at the moment is speculate.
As for today, there is still one more game to play. The Bucs came into the weekend with DJax and defensive end Carl Nassib being listed as doubtful. Both are officially out for the season finale.
The Falcons listed guard Wes Schweitzer as out with a back injury on Friday’s injury report.
Here are the full inactive lists for each team as their 2018 season comes to a close;
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
WR - DeSean Jackson
QB - Ryan Fitzpatrick
TE - Tanner Hudson
DE - Carl Nassib
DT - Rakeem Nunez-Roches
CB - David Rivers
S - Josh Shaw
Atlanta Falcons:
G - Wes Schweitzer
K - Giorgio Tavecchio
CB - Blidi Wreh-Wilson
S - Ryan Neal
LB - Bruce Carter
DT - Justin Zimmer
DT - Terrell McClain
For the second straight week, quarterback Ryan Griffin will get the call to back up Jameis Winston. If there was ever a time that Griffin was going to get some regular season snaps, it would be today. Although, one would believe that decision would come from higher up than Koetter deciding it himself.
