Bucs RB Graham likely done for season
Football Betting Lines
11/17/2008 -
Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Earnest
Graham is likely done for the season with a right ankle injury suffered in
Sunday's 19-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Bucs head coach Jon Gruden addressed the injury in a Monday press conference.
"Graham's ankle looks to be a serious injury and his status for the rest of
the season is very much in question," Gruden said. "His season could be in
jeopardy right now. I'm just very disappointed for our guy. He's done so much
for us here. he's a key reason why we are where we are."
The five-year veteran was hurt on his first carry of the game and had to be
helped to the sideline. After being attended to by trainers, he was taken to
the locker room for further examination. He had also been nursing a knee
injury in the week leading up to the game.
"He just landed awkwardly in a pile and it's unfortunate," Gruden added.
The injury means former first-round draft pick Carnell "Cadillac" Williams,
who was activated off the physically unable to perform list early last week,
will most likely see extended time at the running back position.
Williams has not played an NFL game since September 30, 2007 when he suffered
a torn patellar tendon in a contest against Carolina. He returned to practice
late last month after an arduous recovery and rehab.
To make room for Williams on the active roster, the Bucs released running back
Michael Bennett last week. He was quickly claimed by the San Diego Chargers.
"I don't live in hindsight," Gruden said, addressing the sudden need for
another back. "You've got an injury -- you've got to respond to it. We'll
bring in some other backs that we like."
Graham and Warrick Dunn had split the running back duties to this point.
Graham leads the team with 563 yards and four touchdowns, while Dunn has
chipped in 476 yards and one score. Both are averaging more than four
yards per carry.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
