against the New Orleans Saints with a mostly healthy squad. Only two players
were on the team’s injury report entering the weekend; wide receiver Vincent
Jackson and offensive lineman Carl Nicks.
Both Jackson and Nicks are listed as probable to play Sunday
against the Saints.
Jackson was limited in practice Friday, but he’s reportedly back
close to full strength. He’s been hampered by a calf injury.
Over five games this season, the big target has caught 20
passes for 370 yards and four touchdowns.
Nicks (foot) was a full participants in the Buccaneers’
Friday practice.
