Orlando Sentinel: Fantasy football geeks that figured they made a
shrewd move picking up Tampa Bay RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams
better not plan on a big comeback Sunday. Williams may not even be
active when the Bucs play at Detroit. "It's not just about
Cadillac," HC Gruden said after practice Wednesday. "It's about
our team. "While Williams is back from his devastating knee injury
of '07 and available, Gruden could not say for certain the 2005
NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year would see action against the
Lions and the league's worst rushing defense. The run of injuries
across the board have depleted personnel for the kicking-game
units. Besides Graham, the Bucs also have lost rookie LB Geno
Hayes to IR after the former Florida State star and 6th-round pick
suffered a knee injury suffered against the Vikings. Hayes was a
fixture on special teams, having blocked a punt and returned it
for a TD in a huge victory over rival Carolina last month.
Activating Williams, who does not play special teams, might be a
luxury the Bucs can't afford right now.
