TAMPA, Fla. -- With Evan Smith's health improving, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could face a choice at center.
Joe Hawley, a six-year veteran, has played well since Smith went down with an ankle injury in Week 2. But Smith had limited participation in practice Wednesday, meaning he could return soon.
"It's a coaches' decision," Hawley told ESPN.com. "I'm just looking forward to getting him back healthy. And the more guys we have healthy, the stronger we'll be."
