Adams suffers injury | Main | Alex Smith, others inactive on Sunday »

October 19, 2007

Adams says he's fine

Gaines Adams returned to practice today and pronounced himself healthy and ready to go on Sunday at Detroit. The first-round draft pick had been limited on Thursday because of a chest injury, but coach Jon Gruden said the No. 4 overall selection participated fully in Friday's workout. Adams dismissed the injury as no big deal when asked.

As for the rest of the week's final injury report, tight end Alex Smith is questionable with that ankle injury, but he hasn't practiced all week. It would be a mild surprise if he was able to suit on Sunday. Listed as doubtful are cornerback Brian Kelly (groin) and defensive end Patrick Chukwurah (shoulder).

Hey Kelly is injured?? WOW what a surprise! On another note, Garcia is going to light it up!

Why in the hell didn't they trade Kelly during the offseason?! That bum is NEVER on the field!

Sucks to not have chuk on the field becuase he has done a great job of getting pressure. Now is the time for Adams to shine. The Lions offensive line is terrible and he should be able to get pressure on Kitna. If the Bucs can get the pressure they need they will get turnovers and dominate the game.

I wish they would start gaines and keep him in, instead of bringing him in strictly on passing downs.

Warren,

He striggles against the rush right now and they want to keep his confidence up
