The Rams only listed one player as questionable for Thursday night’s game vs. the Buccaneers, and that player -- cornerback Eric Patterson -- is inactive.

As expected, Todd Gurley, Kenny Britt and Janoris Jenkins are active for the Rams. For the Bucs, Logan Mankins and Jacquies Smith are active despite being listed as questionable.

The Bucs had previously ruled Vincent Jackson and Akeem Spence out; Bruce Carter, who’d been listed as doubtful, is also out. Defensive end George Johnson is inactive after being listed as questionable.

Undrafted rookie Donteea Dye will start at wide receiver in place of Jackson. Tony McDaniel starts at defensive tackle in place of Spence.

The Rams had previously ruled out backup offensive lineman Andrew Donnal. Rams defensive lineman Doug Worthington, just promoted from the practice squad earlier in the day, is active and figures to play in a regular season game for the first time since 2012.
