Fiedler making progress
LAKE BUENA VISTA - Quarterback Jay Fiedler continues to make progress in his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery, but does not have a target date for joining practice.
Fiedler threw after practice Saturday, increasing the distance of his throws from short to intermediate length.
"It's coming. Every day I get out here it's improving,'' said Fiedler, acquired as a free agent when backup Luke McCown injured his knee during offseason workouts. "I took a day off (Friday) and that really helped get it fresh. I definitely took a step forward (Saturday)."
Fiedler has not had any setbacks.
"The next step is uncorking it and letting it loose," he said.

the best thing that can happen for the bucs this year is for fiedler to never put on a buccaneer uniform. he's absolutely brutal. if chris simms goes down and fiedler is the no. 2 qb, look out.
look what happened to the jets last year when pennington went down. jay fielder came in to rescue the day.
uuggghhh, not.
