Vernon Hargreaves III

Vernon Hargreaves (hamstring) ruled out for Tampa Bay in Week 13

Per Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III will not play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

What It Means:

For Hargreaves it will be his third straight absence due to a hamstring injury. Tampa Bay will be really thin on the backend of the defense, with Josh Robinson (hamstring) and T.J. Ward (concussion) also out. Robert McClain figures to start at corner in the 22-year-old's stead.

In 8 starts and 9 games, Hargreaves has put together 39 tackles and 5 passes defensed. His Buccaneers are projected for 5.5 FanDuel points as a defense/special teams in Week 13.
