T.J. Logan broke a thumb today and that will end his season. Justin Watson will return punts and Dare Ogunbowale will return kickoffs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers caught a tough break yesterday (no pun intended) when running back and return man T.J. Logan broke his thumb, ending his 2019 season.
Logan had been returning kicks for the Bucs this season and took over punt return duties, too, following Tampa Bay’s Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers, in which then-punt returner Bobo Wilson fumbled the ball twice, losing one.
With Logan out, the Bucs will turn to wide receiver Justin Watson on punt returns and running back Dare Ogunbowale on kickoff returns.
Tampa Bay has also ruled out the below four players for Sunday’s Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Bruce Arians says G Alex Cappa, OLB Anthony Nelson, RB T.J. Logan and WR Scotty Miller have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Indy.

Tampa Bay is riding their first winning-streak of the season entering Sunday. With convincing wins over the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars the last two weeks, the Bucs sit at 5-7, and with a win will avoid their third-straight 5-11 season.
Talk about motivation to win.
