Sources: Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cameron Brate expected back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is expected to be active against the Seahawks in Munich, Germany, Sunday, sources told ESPN's Jenna Laine.

Brate has missed the last three games after suffering a neck injury against the Steelers Oct. 16. He took a helmet-to-helmet hit and had to be carted off the field. Brate was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital where X-rays were negative.

Brate is having a tough injury year. He also suffered a concussion earlier this season.

Brate has 13 catches for 114 yards and no touchdowns. He was being counted on to be a bigger contributor this season after the retirement of tight end Rob Gronkowski.
