Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope to be healthy after bye week

It’s been a while now since we’ve seen Tampa Bay Buccaneers football, but the wait is coming to an end. After beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 5 for their first home win since 2013, the Bucs have had two weeks to prepare for the 2-4 Washington Redskins. Another win would take the Bucs to 3-3, giving them a .500 record six games into the season.

When the Bucs last played they were definitely not at 100%. CB Mike Jenkins had to fill in for Jonathan Banks, who had been sitting out with a knee injury. C Evan Smith was out with an ankle injury and DT Gerald McCoy played with a pretty sore shoulder.
