The Buccaneers have activated Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen from injured reserve ahead of the team’s wild-card matchup against the Cowboys on Monday night.
Jensen injured his knee on the second day of training camp and was placed on injured reserve Sept. 1. He has been designated to return from injured reserve since Dec. 28, which began a 21-day window for Jensen’s return to the lineup.
Jensen has been a pivotal piece of Tampa Bay’s offensive line since joining the team in 2018. Prior to his knee injury in training camp, Jensen had started all 71 games since joining Tampa Bay in free agency from Baltimore.
