Raheem Morris is keeping his options open on Tampa Bay'...

Aug 24, 2009

Raheem Morris is keeping his options open on Tampa Bay's starting quarterback.

The first-year coach has been promising a decision before the third preseason game, but raised the possibility Sunday the competition between Byron Leftwich and Luke Mccown could be extended another week.

Neither player has established himself as the clear-cut No. 1, although Leftwich appeared to be the front-runner before McCown played well in Saturday night's 24-23 preseason victory at Jacksonville.

"We've still got to meet and evaluate," Morris said, adding that first-round draft pick Josh Freeman and second-year pro Josh Johnson also have contributed to making it tough to settle the quarterback situation before Thursday's game against Miami.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
