The Buccaneers continue to get healthy, as evidenced by the injury report.

More from The Pewter Plank

Things are looking up Buccaneers‘ fans. They are 3-5, but the health is starting to come around. As our good buddy James Yarcho noted earlier, Doug Martin and Mike Evans are on track. Martin has had no setbacks and Evans has been a full-go.

Maybe he’s super human. After the hit he took last week, it would have been understandable if his brains had leaked all over the field. Not only is Evans becoming an elite receiver, but after that hit we have evidence that he is made of a flexible plastic.

But seriously, it’s a good sign that the team is getting healthy. Let’s take a look at the official report:

Clinton is back at a full-go. Jameis seems to be having no ill-effects of his knee, and we already discussed others. It would be nice to have Shepard and Pamphile getting work in, but I guess we can’t have everything we want.

Here is the report for the Bears:
