The Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off at 1 PM today at FirstEnergy Stadium on the shores of Lake Erie. A warmer-than-normal late November game sees Tom Brady come to town and the Browns hoping to look better than they have in the last few weeks.

Cleveland ruled out Greg Newsome II earlier this week while Tampa Bay did the same for Leonard Fournette, Russell Gage and Luke Goedeke.

The biggest name on the injury list awaiting a decision in the inactive report was Vita Vea for the Bucs. The massive, athletic defensive tackle is a huge part of what Tampa does on defense and Cleveland’s injuries at the center position make him even more vital.

With the inactive lists out, Vea is active today as is the Browns Perrion Winfrey who has been struggling this season.

Browns Inactives

• QB Kellen Mond
• WR Michael Woods II
• CB Greg Newsome II
• RB Demetric Felton Jr.
• DE Chase Winovich
• DT Tommy Togiai

Winovich and Togiai played last week but are inactive this week while rookies Winfrey and Isaiah Thomas are active instead.

Bucs Inactive

• RB Leonard Fournette
• WR Russell Gage
• G Luke Goedeke
• TE Kyle Rudolph
• QB Kyle Trask
• S Nolan Turner

Vea being active is a scary thing for Cleveland.

Are you surprised the Browns went with rookies on the defensive line?
