Jon Gruden says that Earnest Graham probably won’t play again this season.
Graham sustained an ankle injury against Minnesota on Sunday when a defender fell on his ankle. Gruden said he does not expect Graham to play again this season.
“Earnest 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. “Geno Hayes [linebacker] hurt his knee and we’re obviously real concerned about that as well. Both of those guy’s season could be in jeopardy right now.”
“I don’t know the medical terms, but right now it doesn’t look like he [Graham] will play anytime soon.” Gruden said. “We’ll get the final results in the next couple of hours.”
This is obviously a big blow to the Bucs’ offense. The team did just get Cadillac Williams back, but there’s no telling how much gas he has left in the tank. (Pun totally intended.) I’d expect Warrick Dunn to get most of the work as they try to work Williams back into the offense.
