The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' bye week appears to have been quite useful for a the team's banged-up roster.
Two rookies who haven't played since Week One injuries – defensive lineman Calijah Kancey (calf) and linebacker SirVocea Dennis (hamstring) – were full participants in practice on Wednesday. The same was true for linebacker Devin White, who used the bye week to get quite a bit of extra treatment on an injured foot, as well as safety Ryan Neal, who sustained a concussion in Week Four.
The only Buccaneer to be held out completely on Wednesday was wide receiver Mike Evans, who suffered a hamstring strain in New Orleans before the bye week.
