The second injury report of the season comes with some pleasant news for Bucs fans. Every player on the 53-man roster participated in Thursday’s practice, with only a few being limited. This is a promising sign that the Bucs are leaning towards a fully healthy Week 1 start.

Third-string running back Sean Tucker, who did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, was back to limited participation today. Tucker played an important role on the offense last season, so having him in the mix would be a huge benefit to Tampa Bay.

All eyes are on Rueben Bain Jr., the rookie outside linebacker, who is now back to full participation. Bain was dealing with a minor shoulder injury that occured during Tampa Bay’s joint practice at Jacksonville, causing him to be limited recently. This included Wednesday’s practice, but he seems to have made a full recovery. This Sunday will be the first-rounder’s regular season debut, so long as he stays healthy.

As of Thursday, the Bucs are looking at one of the healthier starts they have had in recent years. With only Jalen McMillan, Christian Rozeboom, Justin Skule and Sean Tucker being limited at practice, Tampa Bay appears to be starting off the season on the right foot.
