Vincent Jackson (ribs) is expected to play for the Bucs today at 1 p.m. Eastern.

The NFL inactives list for today’s Week 8 battle between two five-loss teams, the Minnesota Vikings (2-5) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5), does not include Tampa Bay wide receiver Vincent Jackson (ribs) who had been listed as questionable but is fully expected to play.

There aren’t too many other surprises in this matchup of NFC cellar-dwelling teams, with the Vikings at the bottom of the NFC North standings and the Bucs are in last place in the mediocre NFC South division, which has the Carolina Panthers leading with a record of 3-3-1.
