The Bucs will once again be without one of their starting cornerbacks when they face off with the Saints today at 1 p.m. Only unlike last week, it will not be Carlton Davis III. Davis will play against familiar foe Michael Thomas, but his running mate Jamel Dean headlines the Bucs’ inactive list.

For the third consecutive week, first-round pick defensive lineman Calijah Kancey will also miss the game. SirVocea Dennis, Kancey’s college teammate and another Bucs rookie, is also listed as inactive.

Here is the full list.
