Buccaneers CB Mike Jenkins logs 51 snaps in Week 5 start
Buccaneers cornerback Mike Jenkins logged 51 snaps in place of the injured Johnthan Banks in Week 5, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jenkins only produced a tackle and pass defensed over those 51 plays, but figures to continue to start after the bye week if Banks is not ready for a return. The veteran corner is receiving his first meaningful playing time since his stint with the Raiders in 2013.

Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy plays 48 snaps in Week 5
Buccaneers defensive tackle McCoy (shoulder) participated on 48 snaps in Week 5 against the Jaguars, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McCoy received his usual amount of playing time and came on strong late, recording 1.5 sacks in the closing minutes to help stifle an attempted Jaguars comeback. The bye week will likely benefit McCoy's ailing shoulder considerably, and he should be refreshed for Tampa's Week 7 matchup against the Redskins.

Buccaneers S Major Wright tallies 34 snaps in Week 5
Buccaneers safety Major Wright (abdomen) returned after a three-game absence to log 34 snaps in Week 5 against the Jaguars, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Wright totaled two solo tackles, including one for loss, and a pass defensed in his first game action since the opener. Chris Conte also played 18 snaps in the defensive backfield but exited early with an ankle injury, affording Wright additional opportunity. Wright figures to see plenty of action as long as he's healthy, although it remains to be seen if any defensive backfield changes will be instituted during the team's bye week.
