Bucs CB Mike Jenkins (hamstring) was limited in practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Mike Jenkins (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Kania of the team's official website reports. Jenkins was inactive in the opener with the injury, and has still only stepped on the field for one game in just over a season with the team. Despite the fact that a pectoral injury caused him to miss 15 games in his first season with the Bucs, the team sufficiently valued his experience and depth to re-sign him to a 1-year deal in the offseason. The eighth-year pro played in all four of the Bucs' preseason contests, totaling six tackles, one pass defensed and one forced fumble. Jenkins is currently slotted as the third-string right cornerback behind Tim Jennings and starter Johnthan Banks.
