Returning Barrett to Bolster Bucs

When a door closes, a window opens. But less about my haunted house.

With the confirmation that DB Richard Sherman’s season is over, the Buccaneers and their fans were looking for some good news ahead of the Playoffs. That news came swiftly in the shape of influential OLB Shaq Barrett being activated from the injured reserve.

Barrett will ease into practice ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to Raymond James Stadium. The star pass rusher has already recorded 51 solo tackles, 1 interception, and 10 sacks, and this news will no doubt cause a headache for Eagles Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon.

For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the return of number 48 to the lineup is welcomed, for the rest of the NFL that still has football to play? Shaq is hungry, and QB is back on the menu.
