Buccaneers' Doug Martin: Full practice Wednesday

Martin practiced fully Wednesday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Martin didn't log another snap after he was "bent back" at the end of a third-quarter rush during Sunday's win at San Diego, spurring worry that the running back was dealing with another injury. While he may in fact be banged up, he took on the full array of individual and team drills only a few days later. With little worry about his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints, he may have to contend with both Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims (knee), the latter of whom is expected to be activated from injured reserve this week. If the Bucs trot out the trio, they'll be facing a New Orleans defense that has conceded 135.3 yards per game from scrimmage and 16 touchdowns to running backs this season.
