Buccaneers vs. Chargers inactives: Gerald McCoy plays

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Diego Chargers will be largely healthy today as they play each other.

Both teams will be missing one defensive starter: safety Chris Conte for the Bucs, and cornerback Brandon Flowers for the Chargers. Both of those absences had been announced on Friday. There was a little bit of doubt about Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, but he’ll suit up. The fact that the Bucs left two defensive tackles inactives suggests he won’t be limited much if at all.

The Bucs will start Keith Tandy in Conte’s place, but expect Ryan Smith and newly re-signed veteran Major Wright to get some playing time as well.
