Bucs LB Barrett (groin) misses practice


Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett hasn’t been slowed much by opposing offensive lines, however an ailing groin was responsible for preventing him from practicing on Wednesday.

A groin injury was also to blame when Barrett missed a Wednesday practice prior to Tampa Bay’s game against the New York Giants on Sept. 22. The ailment didn’t slow down the 26-year-old in that contest, as he collected four of his NFL-high nine sacks in the Buccaneers’ 32-31 loss.

Barrett wasn’t alone in sitting out practice on Wednesday, as he was joined by wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip), tackle Demar Dotson (calf), center Ryan Jensen (back), receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) and linebacker Jack Cichy (elbow).

The Buccaneers (2-2) will vie for their second straight win on Sunday when they visit the New Orleans Saints (3-1).
