The much-maligned Packers offensive line will get a new look on Sunday afternoon with Mark Tauscher's return to the starting lineup at right tackle.
The veteran was re-signed last month after proving he'd recovered from knee surgery and will make his season debut against the Buccaneers. Tom Pelissero of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that he may rotate with former starter Allen Barbre, but the starting nod makes it fairly clear who the Packers want out there protecting Aaron Rodgers.
It's also expected that Chad Clifton, active after missing four of the last five games, will reclaim his spot as the starting left tackle. The other notable Packer inactives -- linebacker Brandon Chillar, tight end Jermichael Finley and wide receiver Jordy Nelson -- were all ruled out on Friday.
For the Bucs, the biggest name among the inactives is Antonio Bryant. It was reported earlier Sunday that he'd miss a chance to wear a creamsicle throwback jersey and it was confirmed with the release of the official inactive list. Maurice Stovall, not the previously reported Brian Clark, will take his place in the starting lineup.
Defensive end Kyle Moore, a fourth-round pick in April, is active for the Bucs for the first time this season. NFL.com has the rest of the inactives from this and all the games.
Tauscher will start for Packers

They are showing the Packers vs. Creamsickle's game in Minneapolis. Wtf? Bears are playing the Cardinals in what could potentially be a competitive game and we get to watch Green Bay do the only thing they really do well, absolutely obliterate terrible teams.
