Bucs C Ryan Jensen activated off IR, could play vs. Cowboys

TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen from Injured Reserve, making him eligible for Monday night's Wild-Card game against the Dallas Cowboys at 8:15 ET on ESPN.

The Bucs had until 4 p.m. ET to activate Jensen, who was on Day 19 of his 21-day practice window, for him to be eligible to play. Jensen had returned to practice Dec. 28 and had been moved around well, but the final hurdle was him being cleared for contact, which came on Friday, a source told ESPN.
