Well have to see when he can make it back. Theres no timetable on that right now.We would love to be at full strength, Koetter said. Well definitely get some of the guys back who havent played. We already talked about Doug having a little bit of a setback. I wish I could give you more.With Martin out, the Bucs will again turn to Jacquizz Rodgers.

The three-time Pro Bowler is tied for the team lead in sacks with two. McCoy also has two pass deflections and three tackles for losses this season.The return of tight end Luke Stocker and wide receiver Cecil Shorts are also big for the Buccaneers.Stocker has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, while Shorts has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.
