Bucs-Panthers Inactives: Dotson Returns

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers named their game-day inactives on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week 17 contest at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game.

Though the Buccaneers have recently placed a handful of players on various reserve lists, including running backs Doug Martin and Charles Sims, the only player on their active roster who is out of the season finale due to injury is defensive end William Gholston. Gholston will miss his second straight game after hurting his elbow in Week 15.
