Buccaneers' Charles Sims: Expected to be activated for Sunday's game

Head coach Dirk Koetter said Monday that Sims (knee) is expected to be activated from IR in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Perhaps Koetter knows a bit more about the health of Doug Martin, who missed the Bucs' final three possessions in Week 13 after he was "bent back" on a third-quarter run. On the other hand, Sims is approaching the end of the second week of his 21-day window for the team to evaluate and ultimately activate him to the 53-man roster. Even if he is available this weekend, he could take a back seat to Martin and Jacquizz Rodgers, dampening his utility off the bat.
