New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara and linebacker Keith Rivers are inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Amukamara is out of action for a second straight week after missing New York's season-opener with a high ankle sprain.

Rivers, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, had seven tackles against the Cowboys in Week 1.

Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, who continues to recover from a broken bone in his right foot which he suffered back in May, is active. He played in the opener against the Cowboys.
