Another Tampa Buccaneers player has been diagnosed with an MRSA infection, the team said Friday, one day after acknowledging guard Carl Nicks' infection has returned.

But preparations were moving forward for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, pending the outcome of an independent experts' report on containment of the outbreak.

Nicks and place-kicker Lawrence Tynes were diagnosed with MRSA – a staph infection that is resistant to some antibiotics – in August during combined practices with the New England Patriots.

The Bucs didn't release the identity of the third player diagnosed with MRSA.
