No surprises among inactives
Guard Mike Gibson is active today for the first time since joining the team in October. But then we knew that would happen, because Gibson is scheduled to split time at right guard with Chris Spencer. With Gibson active, linebacker D.D. Lewis is inactive. Lewis is recovering from a sprained knee.
Also inactive for the Seahawks:
- RB Louis Rankin
- OG Mansfield Wrotto
- DT Red Bryant
- WR Nate Burleson
- TE Cameron Morrah
- DE Derek Walker
- 3rd QB: Mike Teel
Deion Branch started at split end for Burleson, who got a high ankle sprain in last week’s game against the Texans.
Inactive for the Bucs:
- CB Derrick Roberson
- DL Michael Bennett
- OG Shawn Murphy
- OT James Lee
- WR Michael Clayton
- WR Terrence Nunn
- TE John Gilmore
- 3rd QB: Rudy Carpenter
Maurice Stovall will start for Clayton, and tight end Kellen Winslow will play despite missing practice on Friday.
