Cardinals-Buccaneers Injury Report Nov. 6: O.J. Howard Returns to Practice

Tight end O.J. Howard returned to practice in a full capacity during Wednesday’s walk-through practice.

IR2019

The Buccaneers returned from their (literal) cross-country road trip to Seattle, thus concluding a five-game stretch where they hadn't seen the inside of their own stadium. Given the rigors of travel, Head Coach Bruce Arians elected to make Wednesday's practice a walk-through, to help the guys recover. The extended 'golden tour,' as quarterback Jameis Winston put it, took its toll with the Bucs listing eight players on their first injury report of the week.

Good news came in the form of tight end O.J. Howard, who has been nursing a hamstring injury. He returned to practice on Wednesday in a full capacity, along with fellow tight end Cameron Brate. After the team put tight end Antony Auclair on IR yesterday, the health of the team's two top tight ends is welcomed.

Just two players sat out entirely, to the chagrin of the outside linebackers room. Both Anthony Nelson and Carl Nassib have been sidelined with injuries sustained in Seattle. Arians said Nelson will probably not be ready for Sunday's home game but Nassib 'has a chance.'

The Cardinals list 10 players on their first injury report of the week but had seven of the 10 players sit out practice entirely on Wednesday.
