        Buccaneers to Miss Both Early-Round Rookie Defenders

        By Matt Schauf

        The Bucs have ruled out Edge Rueben Bain Jr. (groin) and LB Josiah Trotter (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Vikings. That'll damage a defense that struggled even with them involved in a Week 2 loss to the Browns. Bain missed practice all week and was already playing through a shoulder sprain he suffered in August joint practices with the Jaguars. We'll see about his status for Week 4. Trotter returned for a limited Friday after sitting out the first two days. He returned to finish out the Week 2 game after sustaining his injury. SirVocea Dennis looks like the next guy up but shouldn't be in play for most IDP leagues.
