Buccaneers' Jacquizz Rodgers: Anticipated to return Sunday

Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said it's a "fair deduction" that Rodgers will play Sunday against the Chargers, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Rodgers is returning from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 8, and he's been a full participant in practice this week. Although that increases the likelihood of him being available this weekend, Tampa Bay's release of fellow running back Mike James on Tuesday hinted toward his return all along. Koetter seemingly cemented that expectation Friday, so look for Rodgers to back up Doug Martin versus San Diego.
