Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean (concussion) and DE William Gholston (wrist, knee) are active for today's game against the Bills.

Buccaneers DE William Gholston (neck) is active or today's game against the Falcons, returning to action after missing the past 2 games. He should see a decent snap share with DE Robert Ayers out but is a low-upside IDP option.

Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy (foot) is active for today's game against the Saints. The Bucs will be without DL William Gholston, though, who was ruled out earlier with an elbow injury.

Buccaneers DE William Gholston suffered an ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Chargers, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. He left the stadium in a walking boot and hasn't been able to put weight on the joint early this week. That doesn't seem promising for his Week 14 status. If Gholston sits, Robert Ayers would likely start at left end.

The Buccaneers have ruled out DT Clinton McDonald (hamstring) for the 4th straight game in Week 9. The defense expects to have DL William Gholston, however, according to Pewter Report, despite his questionable designation for a biceps injury.

Bucs DE Michael Johnson is active for the Week 4 matchup with the Steelers.  He entered today questionable because of the ankle sprain that has dogged him since the opener.  The injury makes Johnson a weak IDP option anyway.  Tampa will also have DE William Gholston and DT Gerald McCoy on the field as expected.  Each entered Sunday "probable."
