Gerald McCoy returns to practice for Buccaneers

Kwon Alexander is still absent. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have to play Sunday’s game agains the Minnesota Vikings without the help of linebacker Kwon Alexander, who’s missed the second practice in a row with a hamstring injury. Alexander made some vaguely positive comments about his injury after last Sunday’s game, but those haven’t been reflected on the practice field. Gerald McCoy, meanwhile, returned to practice today, albeit in limited fashion. He has some kind of ankle...

Buccaneers Injury Report, September 20

A look at Wednesday's injury report.

Gerald McCoy, Kwon Alexander miss Bucs practice

Both defensive stars are injured. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers played their first game of the 2017 NFL season on Sunday, which means we’re back to injury reports that are actually filled with players.

Unfortunately for the Bucs, today’s injury report contains some bad news: linebacker Kwon Alexander (hamstring) and defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (ankle) were both missing from practice. It’s not clear how serious their injuries...
