    Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano had no intention of easing Donald Penn back into a grueling practice routine today, which was fine with the Pro Bowl left tackle. Penn was on the sideline with a sore calf for almost a month, so was itching to get back on the field. Besides, he's been ready for action for almost a week now, though Schiano and Mark Dominik held him out. "Coach Schiano and Mark said that when I get healthy they still want me to take another week to get it stronger, and I think they did a good job with that," Penn said. "My hat's off to (strength and conditioning coach Jay Butler) and (trainer) Todd (Toricelli) because my legs are probably stronger now than they've been in a while and that's great coming off an injury.''
