Ke'Shawn Vaughn - Healthy scratch Sunday Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints.
Impact Vaughn will sit in favor of the veteran Giovani Bernard once again. The former will continue to work to earn a chance to suit up in Week 3 against the Packers.

Kyle Trask - Inactive Sunday Trask (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints.
Impact Trask may be the heir apparent to Tom Brady, but he's still No. 3 on the team's quarterback positional depth chart. He'll continue to work in practice to move up to No. 2, ahead of Blaine Gabbert.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zyon McCollum - Won't debut Week 2 McCollum (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Though he concluded the week with a pair of limited practices, McCollum ultimately took a doubtful designation into Sunday's contest. The rookie fifth-round pick will have to wait at least one more game to make his NFL debut, but he could be ready to play in next Sunday's matchup with the Packers if he's able to turn in a full practice at some point during the upcoming week.

Donovan Smith - Missing Week 2 game Smith (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Smith had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend after failing to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, so it comes as little surprise that the left tackle won't be available for the Week 2 matchup. On a more fortunate note, right tackle Tristan Wirfs (abdomen) - who was listed as questionable - will suit up Sunday. Josh Wells is expected to step into the starting lineup to replace Smith and protect quarterback Tom Brady's blind side.

Tristan Wirfs - Cleared to play Sunday Wirfs (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact The abdominal injury limited Wirfs' activity in practices all week, but he'll be able to suit up Sunday and handle his usual duties at the Buccaneers' right tackle. The Bucs will be breaking in a new left tackle Week 2, however, as Josh Wells steps in to protect Tom Brady's blind side while Donovan Smith (elbow) is sidelined.

Breshad Perriman - Cleared to play Sunday Perriman (knee) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Perriman was limited in practice all week due to the knee injury, but he'll be ready to give it a go Sunday. Though the Buccaneers are missing Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) on Sunday, both Mike Evans (calf) and Russell Gage (hamstring) avoided the inactive list after being listed as questionable heading into the weekend. As a result, Perriman may still find himself third in the pecking order at wideout in New Orleans and likely represents little more than a speculative fantasy option.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Russell Gage - Suiting up Week 2 Gage (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Gage missed the Buccaneers' first practice of the week Wednesday and was limited Thursday and Friday, but the hamstring issue evidently isn't severe enough to keep him out for Week 2. With Chris Godwin's own hamstring injury set to keep him on the sideline this weekend, Gage projects to serve as the primary replacement in the slot. Meanwhile, Julio Jones (knee) is also inactive and Mike Evans (calf) is suiting up but is likely to draw coverage from the Saints' top corner, Marshon Lattimore, so Gage could have some sneaky fantasy value this week as a key underneath target for quarterback Tom Brady.

New Orleans Saints inactives for Tampa Bay Buccaneers game | 2022 NFL Week 2 Star running back Alvin Kamara is inactive
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM
Mike Evans - Good to go Sunday Evans (calf) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Evans was one of five Buccaneers receivers who took an injury designation into the weekend, but only Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) ended up on the inactive list. Since he managed only two limited practices this week, Evans' reps could be capped to some extent, though no reports have indicated as much. Even if Evans is a full go for Sunday's contest, he'll still likely find himself covered most of the afternoon by cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who limited the wideout to three receptions for 62 yards in their two matchups in 2021.

Julio Jones - Sitting out Week 2 Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Jones was viewed as a game-time decision heading into the day after managing only one limited practice this week on account of the knee issue, but he ultimately didn't demonstrate enough progress in pregame warmups for the Buccaneers to sign off on him playing. With both Jones and Chris Godwin (hamstring) sidelined for the Buccaneers, Russell Gage (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (knee) and Jaelon Darden should be in store for added reps on offense alongside No. 1 wideout Mike Evans (calf).
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leonard Fournette - Suiting up Week 2 Fournette (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Even though he was listed as questionable heading into the weekend after being limited in practices Wednesday through Friday, Fournette never appeared at major risk of missing Sunday's contest. He was one of six Buccaneers skill-position players who carried a designation into Sunday, but only wideouts Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) are sitting out against New Orleans. Even so, because Fournette appears to be in better health than many of the Bucs' receivers, it's possible that the running back takes on a larger role in the game plan both on the ground and as a key short-yardage target for quarterback Tom Brady.

Tristan Wirfs - Should play Week 2 Wirfs (abdomen), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The star right tackle was a limited participant in practice all week, but he looks like he'll be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The fact that Wirfs is likely to suit up looms even larger than normal with left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) listed as doubtful and not expected to suit up.
