Buccaneers OL Tristan Wirfs, Ryan Jensen 'progressing nicely' ahead of Rams game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady could have some valuable protectors back in front of him just in time for Sunday's home playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Buccaneers right tackle Tristan Wirfs and center Ryan Jensen both suffered ankle injuries during last Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles and were noticeably missing from the practice field earlier in the week. Per Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk, though, head coach Bruce Arians told reporters both men were limited participants for Friday's session. 

"They both moved around in the individual drills," Arians explained. "We didn’t put them in any team stuff so they wouldn’t get tripped up or anything. It’s still 48 hours and they’re progressing nicely."

It was suggested earlier in the week both could ultimately be game-time decisions, and Arians' latest update indicates that hasn't changed heading into the weekend. 

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay running back Leonard Fournette took part in Wednesday's walkthrough coming off the hamstring injury that's kept him out of the lineup since he went down in Week 15 back on Dec. 19. He is trending toward returning to action. 

"He didn’t have the setback he had last week, so we’ll wait and see," Arians added about Fournette. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the day he expects "Playoff Lenny" to play in Sunday's must-win matchup:
