Buccaneers Backfield Thin This Weekend

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cannot seem to catch a break - specifically keeping their running corps relatively healthy.  Running back Michael Pittman did not practice on Friday, marking the third consecutive day that he did not practice after re-aggravating an ankle injury he suffered on October 7 against the Indianapolis Colts that forced him to [...]
