Bucs-Texans Inactives: Hawley to Start

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans named their game day inactives on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. ET, 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week Three matchup at NRG Stadium. NFL teams are required to reduce their active rosters to 46 players for each regular-season game.

The Buccaneers will play without TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder), C Evan Smith (ankle) and S Major Wright (abdoment), all starters. Joe Hawley will get his first start as a Buccaneer in Smith's place. DE T.J. Fatinikun is active for the first time this season after recovering from a shoulder injury.

The Texans are missing two starters on the offensive line in Duane Brown and Jeff Adams and will also play a third straight game with RB Arian Foster.
