Uh, oh.
The only decent starting Bucs linebacker both inside and outside missed practice for the second straight day today, as the Bucs prepare for a game against the Vikings that very well could determine the January job status for so many people employed by Team Glazer.
This scares Joe.
Josiah Trotter, the star rookie inside linebacker on a tear, sat out practice the past two days with a sore shoulder.
Linebacker play in the first two weeks for the Bucs has been just about totally dreadful, with the exception of Trotter, who has shined.
Rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain (groin) has a grand total of one sack in two starts and also has not practiced the past two days. His backup, Anthony Nelson (shin), returned to practice today but was limited. Defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson had a partial rest day, and he, too, was limited.
