Buccaneers right guard Jamon Meredith sprained his ankle on Wednesday. He missed Thursday's practice, but returned in limited fashion on Wednesday. The Bucs have designated him a game time decision, and they'd better hope he's healthy because otherwise they're down to their sixth offensive guard of the season in the form of Roger Allen.
