The Bucs have already wrapped up their second practice in London on Thursday without the services of their starting running back.

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune notes that running back LeGarrette Blount missed practice again Thursday, and it looks like Blount won’t play. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy was limited during a full pads practice, a good sign that he may return this week.

Starting defenders Michael Bennett & Mason Foster also returned to practice for Tampa, who continues to play up the advantage of getting acclimated to London by getting there early. The Bears travel overseas Thursday night and arrive Friday.
