Buccaneers' Chris Conte: Does not practice Thursday

Conte (chest) did not participate in practice the past two days but head coach Dirk Koetter said the safety could return sooner rather than later, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Conte is making good progress after sitting out of Sunday's win over the Chargers due to a chest injury. Look for more updates to come over the weekend as Keith Tandy will be expected to fill in at free safety should Conte miss another week.
