It wasn't as good of news about Christian Izien and his status, Izien was ruled out for the game, which is a tough blow to the defense as he was an important chess piece to the unit. The other players out are Tristan Wirfs, Chris Godwin Jr. and rookie second round pick, Benjamin Morrison.

If Bucs fans are concerned about Morrison, the bright side is that he should be back soon.

"He should be fine next week," Bowles said.
