St. Petersburg Times : Jon Gruden expressed concern about injuries
to RB Earnest Graham and tight end Alex Smith during his weekly
news conference Monday at One Buc Place. Graham injured a knee
during the Bucs' 30-27 overtime win over the Chiefs Sunday in KC
and is being evaluated, Gruden said. His status is uncertain.
Smith left with an ankle sprain after making a sliding catch on a
two-point conversion pass with 19 seconds remaining to send the
game into overtime. He is being evaluated. "Those two guys in
particular we're worried about," Gruden said. With RB Warrick Dunn
(back) and FB B.j. Askew (hamstring) already sidelined, this
week's bye couldn't come at a better time for the Bucs' ground
game. "The bye, I think, it's going to help us," Gruden said. "Our
running back situation in particular is very concerning for
us."
