The Buccaneers have dealt with a number of major injuries (and one abrupt departure) over the last few weeks. With the wild-card round of the playoffs just days away, the defending Super Bowl champions got a boost at Wednesday's practice.
Tampa announced a pair of running backs—Leonard Fournette and Giovani Bernard—and standout linebacker Lavonte David returned to practice on Wednesday.
All three players were placed on injured reserve in December. Bernard has been out since Dec. 14, while David and Fournette went on IR on Dec. 23. All are eligible to return to the team after missing at least three games.
