The Tampa Bay Buccaneers(2-3) play the San Francisco 49ers(1-5) this weekend, as the Bucs try to catch up in the NFC South race, and the 49ers try to salvage whatever is left of their season.
The Bucs expected to have most of their injured players back after the bye week but alas, they still have some key problems. Doug Martin will not be playing, and neither will defensive linemen Clinton McDonald and Robert Ayers. Gerald McCoy will return, but his snaps will be monitored and it seems unlikely that he’ll be at full strength.
The 49ers aren’t entirely at full strength either, but the only starter they’ll be missing is running back Carlos Hyde.
