Buccaneers Rule Four Out vs Atlanta

January 6, 2023

Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ head coach Todd Bowles informed the media Friday that four players have been ruled “OUT” against the Atlanta Falcons.

As reported by Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Buccaneers’ “Carlton Davis, Logan Ryan, Donovan Smith and Carl Nassib have been ruled out. With only two healthy OLBs again (Tryon-Shoyinka and Nelson), those guys will play a lot for Bucs on Sunday. Bowles said they’ll elevate one of the three practice squad OLBs – that’s either Charles Snowden, Ifeadi Odenigbo or Hamilcar Rashed. Also maybe elevating T Justin Skule.”

Bowles says Carlton Davis, Logan Ryan, Donovan Smith and Carl Nassib have been ruled out for Sunday at Falcons.

As Bowles has stated, “Right now I’m planning on playing them,” Bowles said on Monday. “We’ll see as the week goes forward, but we can get better at a lot of things that we need to work on, and we don’t need to take our foot off the gas.” While most of these players are starters, injuries rule the day, and the decision making. The Buccaneers missing Carlton Davis and Donovan Smith are the big loses here.
