TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated center Ryan Jensen from injured reserve to the active roster ahead of their NFC wild-card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. Jensen missed the entire regular season after hurting his left knee on the second day of training camp. He has been practicing since Dec. 28, when the Bucs designated him to return from IR. The ninth-year pro’s injury, combined with losing guards Ali Marpet to retirement and Alex Cappa in free agency, has forced the Bucs to rely on a largely young, inexperienced offensive line to protect Tom Brady this season.
