PIERRE DESIR
Won't play Sunday Desir (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bills, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Buccaneers' cornerback corps is slowly returning to full strength, which has caused Desir to find himself as the odd man out. Through nine appearances this season, the 30-year-old has recorded 22 tackles, three pass deflections, two interceptions and one forced fumble.

Picks off old squad in win Desir collected six tackles (five solo) and an interception in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Playing a season-high 61 snaps after a shoulder injury knocked Jamel Dean out of the game in the first quarter, Desir turned in a rock-solid IDP effort that included his first interception since Week 4 of last season. The 31-year-old journeyman could be due for a spot start in Week 13 against the Falcons if Dean is forced to sit out the contest and Carlton Davis (quadriceps) isn't deemed ready for a return.

Racks up tackles in spot start Desir totaled seven solo tackles and was credited with a defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints in Week 8.
Impact Fellow cornerback Richard Sherman was active despite a hamstring injury, but he ultimately remained on the sideline for the entire game and Desir logged a hefty 75-snap workload. The veteran corner gave up a 38-yard completion to 2015 first-round pick Kevin White, but at least his tackle tally checked in fourth on the afternoon for the Bucs. Sherman will likely be fully healthy after the Week 9 bye, which would relegate Desir back to a rotational role.
