Tampa Bay's Early Injury Front...

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

Joey Galloway (foot) had limited participation in Wednesday's practice.

Galloway was present for the opening portion of practice that the media can watch, so it's likely he did a good amount of work. Coach Jon Gruden has made it clear that Galloway needs a full week of practice to play on Sunday.

Updating a previous item, Warrick Dunn (back) did go through some limited drills in Bucs practice Wednesday.

Dunn, who is dealing with a pinched nerve, remains uncertain to face Dallas in Week 8 and could be a game-time decision. Check back by Friday to find out his status, but for now it looks like he'll be questionable at best.

Cadillac Williams (PUP, knee) returned to practice Wednesday, as expected.

Williams is getting closer, apparently, but hasn't been put on the 53-man roster yet. If he is, fantasy owners should expect very little. Warrick Dunn plays on third downs and Earnest Graham is the goal-line back. Williams' lack of versatility would make him merely an early-down committee piece.

You can bet Joey Galloway and the pooter pirates will be ready. Pittmanfertoo must be licking his chops -- among other things.

Galloway will likely play. Dunn might not but they still have Earnest to run the ball and I doubt, very seriously, that Williams gets even a snap in this game. After being out all this time there is no way that he's physically ready to play a NFL game.

Our defense needs to stop the run first, then pressure Garcia with our outside pass-rushers in Ware and Ellis.

Grahmn cocerns me with his power runs.

That is where the fron tseven comes in at. Stop the run first than let the dogs loose on Garcia!

 

[Nav22]

It just hit me. This will be Antonio Bryant's first game back in Texas Stadium, huh? And he's been a fairly productive starter the past few weeks.

You KNOW he'll be ready for this game.

 

[Buccaneer Bruce]

The entire Buccaneers team will be ready and they wont forget what happened the last time they played the Pukes down there, this time we have an NFL QB not Gradkowski.

Man, we're going to get toasted.

 

[DeadEagle]

Galloway won't play. And nor will Williams.


Dunn concerns me a bit, as he's been a real value to the offense, but I hope he plays. Hoping that BJ Askew plays, as he's been sturdy in the run game.

Hilliard is a question mark as well. We may sit him as a precaution.

Just in...

Ike Hilliard (concussion) missed Bucs practice Wednesday.

Hilliard was concussed in last week's win and doesn't figure to play until Week 9 against KC at the earliest. He's still experiencing headaches.

 

[DeadEagle]

Guess that means more balls to Bryant and Graham....

Yep! Interesting.

 

[BourbonBalz]

At least we're not the only team dealing with injuires. We need all the help we can get for the next two games.
