It was a good day for the Buccaneers. After seeing NFC Defensive Player of the Month Shaq Barrett, wide receiver Chris Godwin and center Ryan Jensen miss practice on Wednesday, all three returned in a limited capacity for Thursday.
That's not all.
Both rookies Devin White and Jamel Dean were upgraded from limited to full participation on Thursday, as well. White is working his way back from a knee sprain and wants to make his return in his home state of Louisiana.
Also, back practicing was right tackle Demar Dotson, who sat out yesterday. Against a menacing defensive front in New Orleans, a healthy Jensen and Dotson will be crucial.
