Injuries galore
The Bucs placed linebacker Antoine Cash on injured reserve today after he suffered a major left knee injury Saturday against the Jaguars. The Bucs also placed rookie free agent Sam Olajubutu -- a linebacker from Arkansas -- on IR after he suffered what is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon in pregame warmups. Both players will miss the season.
In other injury news, cornerback Phillip Buchanon was wearing a soft cast on his wrist and will miss at least a few days of work, according to Jon Gruden. Also in the secondary, rookie safety Tanard Jackson has a strained hamstring and will miss at least a couple days, Gruden said.
Lastly, guard Jeb Terry has an unspecified ankle injury and is expected to miss a significant amount of time based on his inability to walk without aid. He is using crutches after going down against Jacksonville.

Somebody needs to look at replacing Toriscelli as our trainer - way too many injuries since he's been here. He's supposed to be keeping these guys healthy!
