A report from Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times broke Tuesday evening and it’s a late Christmas present for Buccaneers’ fans.

Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen will begins his 21-day practice window Wednesday to return from injury.

Per Stroud, “Jensen will begin his 21-day practice window Wednesday with the team. He is eligible to rejoin the Bucs active roster as soon as Sunday with the Bucs needing a win over Carolina to defend their NFC South title.” Stroud continued. “The Bucs have not made a determination when Jensen will be cleared to play and plan to evaluate his progress one day at a time.”

Jensen was placed on injured injured reserve September 1st after injuring his knee on the second day of training camp.  While highly unlikely, Jensen could theoretically suit-up this week against the Carolina Panthers. At either rate, this is great news fir s struggling offense.
