The first injury report of the week for the Buccaneers includes the return of a weapon on the outside.

More from The Pewter Plank

The Buccaneers hit the road this week as they head to one of the toughest places in the league to play. Arrowhead Stadium is always a hostile environment for the road team, and their Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) enter the week tied for the AFC West lead and riding a five-game winning streak.

The Bucs enter the game with a record of 4-5, tied for second in the NFC South with the New Orleans Saints. They are coming off of an absolute drubbing of the Chicago Bears last week, by the score of 36-10.

A weapon is coming back into the fold. Russell Shepard practiced in full, which lends towards the idea that he will play on Sunday, barring setbacks.

Here is the rest of the report:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Joe Hawley	68	C	Knee	Limited Participation
Kevin Pamphile	64	G	Concussion	Full Participation
Jacquizz Rodgers	32	RB	Foot	Did Not Participate
Russell Shepard	89	WR	Hip	Full Participation
Evan Smith	62	C	Knee	Did Not Participate
Luke Stocker	88	TE	Ankle	Did Not Participate

Hawley returned on a limited basis, which is a good sign, considering that Evan Smith sat out. I mean, somebody has to play center. Right?
