The Buccaneers and Panthers have released their first injury reports of the week. Following a physical game on Monday Night Football and a short week, the Buccaneers moved LB Adarius Glanton, G J.R. Sweezy, CB Vernon Hargreaves, TE O.J. Howard and S Justin Evans onto their injured reserve list and held a few players back in practice. The good news is that both defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and linebacker Lavonte David participated, albeit on a limited basis, after missing the Atlanta game.
Most notably for the Panthers, tight end Greg Olsen returned to practice in a full capacity and quarterback Cam Newton was limited with a right shoulder injury.
