The Denver Broncos are without slot receiver Brandon Stokley and defensive end Robert Ayers for their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Stokley (hip, wrist) was limited in practice during the week and Ayers missed practice all week following the unexpected death of his father.

Other inactives for Denver are cornerback Tracy Porter, newly signed fullback Jacob Hester, offensive lineman C.J. Davis and tight end Julius Thomas.

Inactive for the Bucs are running back Michael Smith, linebacker Najee Goode, guard Derek Hardman and tackle Matthew Masifilo.
