Report: Bucs RB Charles Sims might not play Sunday

Although Buccaneers rookie running back Charles Sims was activated from short-term IR, the team could hold him out of Sunday's game at Cleveland, reports ESPN's Adam Caplan. Instead the Bucs might give running back/receiver Marcus Thigpen some carries behind Bobby Rainey, the report said.

Thigpen just got promoted from the practice squad. Running back Doug Martin (ankle) is not expected to play.
