Great news for the Buccaneers and their fans - Ryan Jensen practiced on Wednesday as his 21-day window officially opened for him to return to the team. While this news is huge and his return could immediately impact the team, don’t get too excited just yet. Todd Bowles already told the media there is absolutely no chance he plays this week against the Carolina Panthers.
Players that could play, but didn’t practice, on Wednesday were Rakeem Nunez-Roches (personal), Carlton Davis (shoulder), and Anthony Nelson (illness).
Davis missing practice with a shoulder injury is a bit concerning, but it’s something he’s been dealing with so alarm bells regarding his status for the weekend aren’t going crazy just yet - but it’s certainly something to monitor as the week progresses.
