It was a week of roster shuffling for the Los Angeles Rams, who put three starters on injured reserve, promoted a second kicker to the 53-man roster and added three defenders. Their injury report has been fairly short, in part because Tyler Higbee, Rob Havenstein and Quentin Lake were all put on IR.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can’t say the same thing about their injury reports this week. They’ve been lengthy and full of prominent names.

Chris Godwin is also questionable after being downgraded from full to limited on Friday.
One thing to watch is Benjamin Morrison's status after he was a non-participant Friday due to a hamstring injury, his first time being listed on the report. He's a replacement for Dean, so if he can't play, the Bucs will be down to a third-stringer.
The Rams, meanwhile, have listed Xavier Smith as questionable to play after he cleared the concussion protocol but still isn’t certain to play.
Everyone else for the Rams is good to go, including Nate Landman, who was limited on Wednesday and Thursday due to a back injury.
