Vincent Jackson is expected to play on Saturday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, despite being listed as questionable on the injury report due to a rib injury that caused the receiver to practice on a limited basis.

Jackson, 31, hasn't had the best season so far in 2014, as he's only recorded 25 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns, although his targets and stats have increased since Mike Glennon took over for Josh McCown as the starter in Tampa Bay. Glennon is expected to start again for the Buccaneers on Sunday when the team hosts the Minnesota Vikings.
The three-time Pro Bowl receiver has been the subject of trade rumors, as of late, due to the struggles of the Buccaneers coupled with the drop-off in production for the veteran. The team has also had increased production from rookie Mike Evans, who recorded a touchdown in each of his last two starts.
Tampa Bay has just one win in 2014, but faces the Vikings on Sunday, a team on a three-game losing streak.
