TAMPA, Fla. — Bucs veteran receiver Julio Jones, among seven players on the inactive list for today’s home opener, reportedly is dealing with a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
Today’s other inactives: No. 3 quarterback Kyle Trask, tight end Cade Otton (personal reasons), rookie cornerback Zyon McCollum and injured starters Chris Godwin (hamstring), Donovan Smith (elbow) and Akiem Hicks (foot).
The absence of Smith and backup left tackle Josh Wells, on injured reserve with a calf ailment, means Seminole High alumnus Brandon Walton will make his first career NFL start.
