Series Buccaneers lead the series 14–13 after meeting No. 27 since 1999 Full series history
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
Todd Bowles put the Pro Bowl safety's absence at two to four weeks, which takes him out of Thursday night's game in Dallas as Tampa Bay tries to avoid an 0–5 start.
The third-year linebacker had a sack and an interception before going down untouched in the third quarter, and Green Bay now turns to Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper ahead of the Bears' visit.
