The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' injury report includes several starters ahead of their Week 15 game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, including receiver Julio Jones (knee), right tackle Tristan Wirfs (ankle), nose tackle Vita Vea (calf), linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (hip), cornerback Jamel Dean (toe) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle).
Dean, Jones and Vea did not participate in practices Wednesday or Thursday. On Friday, Dean and Vea were ruled out for Sunday's game.
Tryon-Shoyinka, Winfield and Wirfs were limited participants Thursday.
Vea leads the Bucs in sacks this season with 6.5. Dean and former Winton Woods High School standout Mike Edwards are the team's co-leaders in interceptions with two.
Backup linebackers Genard Avery (abdomen/oblique) and Carl Nassib (pectoral) also were among non-participants in Thursday's practice.
The Bengals likely will be without top pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, and receivers Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins were limited participants Wednesday and Thursday.
