The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw some encouraging movement on Thursday’s injury report as they continued preparations for Sunday’s season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Running back Sean Tucker returned to practice on a limited basis after sitting out Wednesday with a hamstring injury. Rookie outside linebacker Rueben Bain Jr. also improved, moving from limited participation Wednesday to a full participant Thursday despite a shoulder injury.
