How injuries could affect Bucs vs. Saints matchup

The Buccaneers should have all their key players for Sunday’s matchup, as the injury report lists only one contributor — reserve defensive linemen Jeremiah Ledbetter — as anything less than questionable.

Among the questionable group, safety Jordan Whitehead would leave the biggest void if unavailable. The third-year defensive back has started all but two games the last two seasons and has provided decent run defense and pass coverage for a blitz-heavy unit. While the Buccaneers want Ronald Jones available, their depth at running back provides more cushion should he miss the game.

The big news is that Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Carlton Davis were all removed from the final injury report.
