Injury reports for both the Bucs and Falcons were sparse all week, reflecting the fact that both teams are pretty healthy heading into Sunday afternoon’s matchup at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay had a couple of players who were listed as questionable on Friday afternoon’s final injury report, while Atlanta’s was empty.

Anthony Nelson (concussion) and Vita Vea (foot) were the uncertainties, but now the Week 7 inactives are out and we have our answers.

Bucs Inactives vs. Falcons

While both were previously listed as questionable, Anthony Nelson and Vita Vea were both cleared to play ahead of Sunday’s game, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reported. As a result, Tampa Bay’s inactives for Week 7 are all healthy scratches:

With the exception of Watts swapping in for the now-healthy Nelson, this group of inactives is the same as it was a week ago against the Lions. That means rookie tight end Payne Durham is active for the second straight week as he replaces David Wells. Durham caught his first career pass in the loss to Detroit and as a big-bodied tight end, he could prove to be a red zone threat for Tampa Bay’s offense.
