Bucs Hot Reads: RB Sims head home with momentum

TAMPA — As one of several Bucaneers returning to his home state, RB Charles Sims is looking forward to Sunday’s matchup against the Texans.

Sims was born in Houston and played three seasons for the Cougars before finishing his collegiate career at West Virginia. A third-round pick in 2014, Sims missed the first eight games of his rookie season following ankle surgery.

“Last year was tough, but that’s behind me now,’’ said Sims, who averaged 4.8 yards in eight carries last week at New Orleans. “I’m feeling real good, better every game.’’

An accomplished receiver, Sims gives the Bucs some depth in the backfield behind Doug Martin.
