That loud noise which just emitted from Raymond James Stadium was a collective sigh of relief from Buccaneers fans, as the team's All-Pro running back Doug Martin returned to the field after exiting in the third quarter with an injury.

It appeared that Martin suffered a knee injury, though the team reported the Boise State product was dealing with a shoulder ailment.

Buccaneers fans surely remember that it was a shoulder injury that caused Martin to miss the majority of the 2013 season.

Hopefully Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith offers some incite into the injury after the game.
