Doug Martin didn’t practice on Wednesday, and it appears unlikely that the Buccaneers will have their Pro Bowl running back available on Sunday when the Bucs host the Rams. If Martin isn’t able to go, Sims will likely step in and handle the majority of the Bucs’ carries. Sims has thrived as a third down back, and is more than capable of handling the increased workload, according to Head Coach Dirk Koetter. The Buccaneers struggled to establish the running game in Week 2, picking up just 85 total rushing yards. Tampa Bay needs an improved performance running the football this week, and Sims will play a key part in whether or not they can accomplish that.
