The Bucs need a win to snap their mid-season backslide, as they’ve lost 3 in a row and 4 out of 5, and they face a prime opportunity to do so against a Cardinals team that has 1 win in their last 8 games.
Tampa is finally getting healthy, with several key players primed to return Sunday. Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving, Jamel Dean, and Haason Reddick are all back, despite questions on Mayfield’s short-term availability due to a shoulder sprain suffered last Sunday in the team’s primetime drubbing against the Los Angeles Rams.

For Irving, it will be the first time back since Week 4, and Reddick returns after missing the last month. Dean missed only one game after sustaining a minor hip injury against the Buffalo Bills. The Bucs will still be without rookie Benjamin Morrison, who sustained his third hamstring injury of the season late last week in practice and missed the Rams game.
The full list of inactives for both teams is below:
