The Bucs' first full practice since Thursday's loss to the Patriots brought big news on the injury front: linebackers Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander and safeties T.J. Ward and Keith Tandy were all back and practicing Wednesday afternoon, a promising first step toward returning to game action.
Alexander has missed three games with a hamstring injury, and David has missed the last two with a sprained ankle, with both safeties missing the Patriots game with hip injuries. That doesn't mean they'll all be able to play Sunday at Arizona, but head coach Dirk Koetter had hinted that the Bucs would get back key players on defense.
