The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the field again today in preparation for the New Orleans Saints.

Bucs center Jeff Faine (unknown) and safety Tanard Jackson (knee) appeared to be held out of practice Thursday. Jackson was limited in Wednesday's workout while Faine wasn't even on the injury report yesterday. We'll learn more about their conditions when Raheem Morris addressed the media after practice.

Bucs wide receivers Antonio Bryant (groin) and Michael Clayton were in practice this afternoon. Same goes for tight ends John Gilmore (illness) and Kellen Winslow (knee), and running back Cadillac Williams (team decision).

The Bucs held practice earlier today because it's Christmas Eve. The team will practice later than usual on Christmas Day in order to give the players and coaches time with their families.
