Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson is a full participant in practice this week. Jackson has a small fracture in his wrist, but he plans on playing through it and should be available for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Vincent Jackson getting full practice, fractured wrist won’t keep him out of fantasy lineups
Vincent Jackson is playing through a fractured wrist and got a full practice Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jackson fractured his wrist during the first quarter of last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but he played the entire game, ending with two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown. Through three games, Jackson has just 10 receptions for 102 yards and the score.
Fantasy impact: There are no real worries about his availability. Jackson has always been a wildly inconsistent fantasy play, but there are reasons to be optimistic this week. Mike Glennon is expected to get the start and has a good matchup against the Steelers' injury-ravaged defense. The two showed decent chemistry last year with Glennon's willingness to put the ball in tight red zone spaces, an area where Jackson excels at. He will have WR2 upside if Glennon can jumpstart the offense.
