Return of Austin Seferian-Jenkins means Bucs' offense is whole again

TAMPA, Fla. -- With the return of tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally have the offensive weapons for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston that they envisioned when the season started.

In addition to Seferian-Jenkins, Winston has receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson; running backs Doug Martin, who is second in the NFL in rushing; and Charles Sims, a change-of-pace, third-down back.

If you include emerging tight end Cameron Brate, Winston has four receivers listed at 6-foot-5 to throw to.

Jackson returned to the lineup three weeks ago after missing three games because of a knee injury.
