"The guy is hungry," Diaby said of Reddick. "It is just amazing to have somebody like that who is hungry, and we are going to be fighting for sacks, but at the end of the day as long as I get mine and he gets his, we will be just fine."

A different veteran player was out of practice today and that was wide receiver Mike Evans, but that was planned. He was given a rest day. Tight end Cade Otton had his status upgraded from limited on Wednesday to a full participant on Thursday, so he's on the right track to play for the opener.

Cornerbacks Benjamin Morrison and Josh Hayes practiced once again while Morrison was still limited. We'll keep a close eye on defensive back Christian Izien, who was still out again and has missed several weeks.

Here is the injury report for the Bucs and Falcons on Thursday.
