OK Buccaneers‘ faithful, I know that these reports have been difficult to look at as of late. It’s understandable. The Bucs have looked more like a M*A*S*H unit than a football team. It has been to their credit that they have returned to .500 while missing some key components.

Give Dirk and the coaching staff credit for getting the team together and playing well. Give credit to the guys for coming through when they needed to step up.

Now, things might be changing in Tampa as they get ready for a three-game homestand. Those changes are for the better.

Let’s take a look at the injury report:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Robert Ayers	91	DE	Ankle	Limited Participation
Joe Hawley	68	C	Ankle	Limited Participation
Doug Martin	22	RB	Hamstring	Did Not Participate
Clinton McDonald	98	DT	Hamstring	Limited Participation

Is that Robert Ayers back on the list, practicing? I do believe that it is. That’s right gang, Ayers was back at practice today for the first time since his injury, albeit on a limited basis.

In fact, everyone except for Doug Martin practiced today, making this the healthiest the Bucs have been in weeks. That is a great and happy sign for us all.

Now here are the injuries for the visiting Raiders:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Vadal Alexander	74	G/T	Ankle	Limited Participation
Andre Holmes	18	WR	Hip	Limited Participation
Taiwan Jones	22	RB	Knee	Did Not Participate
Stacy McGee	92	DT	Ankle	Did Not Participate
Brynden Trawick	41	S	Shoulder	Limited Participation
Menelik Watson	71	T	Calf	Limited Participation
