Austin Seferian-Jenkins "close" to returning from shoulder injury

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers should get a number of players back from injury this week, and two of them have talked to reporters to say that they're close to coming back. That is, Austin Seferian-Jenkins told Rick Stroud that he was "close" to returning, while Johnthan Banks told Scott Smith that he feels "pretty good."

Getting both of these players could provide a big boost for the Bucs. Mike Jenkins and Tim Jennings have struggled at cornerback during Banks' absence, while Tampa Bay has lacked the ability to attack the middle of the field since Seferian-Jenkins' week two injury.
