Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has been unable to participate in practice much this week, but is expected to play when the Bucs take on the Buffalo Bills according to head coach Greg Schiano.  Jackson is trying to recover from a nagging hamstring issue.

The Bucs have won three of their last four after losing their first eight games of the season.  They have an opportunity to get their fourth win in five games as they host the Bills and having Jackson would certainly be a valuable weapon to have.  Jackson has not only been their best weapon this season, but is a notoriously tough one that seems to be able to play through pain and deal without much in terms of reps during the week.

The Bucs are trying to evaluate a number of areas of the roster and quarterback is definitely one of them.  There has been some positive momentum from Mike Glennon, and having Jackson in the line up could help them keep that going.
