The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a little bit healthier today, with center Joe Hawley returning to full participation in practice for a couple of times. Tight end Luke Stocker also returned to practice after missing yesterday. Both of them should be ready to go for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Two players who won’t be are running back Jacquizz Rodgers and backup center Evan Smith, both of whom missed their second practice of the week. Both of them are likely out for a couple more weeks, though the impact of those injuries on the Bucs will be limited, as the team has plenty of depth at both positions.
