The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had two safeties considered questionable for their Week 10 game against San Francisco, and only one has been cleared to play. Jordan Whitehead is active despite a quad injury that limited him in practice this week, but rookie Tykee Smith is inactive after suffering a knee injury in practice on Friday. Smith is the team's starting slot corner when active and he leads the team with three forced fumbles.
Rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan was questionable for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury that kept him out against the Chiefs, but his condition improved late in the week and he will be active against the 49ers. Wide receiver Mike Evans is out, as expected, for a third game in a row due to a hamstring issue. Defensive lineman Greg Gaines makes his return after missing two games with a calf injury.
The Buccaneers and 49ers submitted their list of inactives at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff of their Week 10 game at Raymond James Stadium. After elevating wide receiver Marquez Callaway and linebacker Vi Jones from the practice squad on Saturday, the Buccaneers had 55 available players and thus had to name seven inactives to get down to the game-day limit of 48. The 49ers elevated safety Tashaun Gipson from the practice squad, which means they had to name six players inactive.
