    Cornerback Aqib Talib missed this morning's practice at One Buc Place with what coach Greg Schiano called a hamstring tweak. "I don't think it's bad," Schiano said, "but (as a precaution) we put him on the (exercise) bike today." Also on the injury front, safeties Mark Barron (toe) and Ronde Barber (undisclosed) were back in action. Barron doesn't appear to be 100 percent, but he did more today than he has in the past several days. Defensive end Michael Bennett (undisclosed) is still limited so George Johnson continues to take first-team snaps in his place. Finally, we asked Schiano about the progress of starting left tackle Donald Penn, who continues to rehab a calf strain that will sideline him a few weeks. "Penn is coming along well," Schiano said. "Like I told you when it happened, it's not a little thing. It's going to take him some time to get back. He is doing well but he's not ready to go."
