The Buccaneers will look to continue their winning ways against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Eagles might favored on the road by a field goal, but don’t underestimate the new-found confidence this Bucs team is playing with.
Injury Update: Wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, practiced for the first time Thursday after suffering a concussion against the Saints.
Jason Pierre-Paul was also on the practice field taking part in drills. He is dealing with some sort of knee injury.
Because this defense is battered already, Vernon Hargreaves will miss the entire season, Defensive Coordinator Mike Smith knows the importance of versatility on defense.
“We’re going to have to have guys that are cross-trained in the secondary. Safeties at some point in time are going to be asked to play corners and corners are going to be asked to play safeties. Both are going to have to play in the nickel spot.”
