The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new problem along their offensive line: Logan Mankins missed today's practice with a groin injury. It's not clear how serious this injury is and it may just be a bit of maintenance, but if he can't go on Sunday the Bucs will have second-year tackle Kevin Pamphile fill in for him. He was practicing at left guard today, according to Greg Auman.
In addition, Johnthan Banks, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Evan Smith and Russell Shepard continue to be held out of practice, making their participation this weekend extremely unlikely.
