Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia Limited Again

Posted Dec 11, 2008 by Anwar S. Richardson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice again and his playing status for Sunday’s game against Atlanta remains up in the air.

Garcia injured his calf earlier this week and has been limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Buccaneers Coach Jon Gruden said Garcia injured the same calf that limited him during training camp, but it was not the same part of that calf.

“It’s a concern,” Gruden said. “It’s a calf injury. It’s not the same part of the calf, but it is a concern. It’s a part of life. Hopefully he can get well in the next day or two. We need him.”

Gruden said backup QB Luke McCown has taken the majority of reps during practice this week and he will likely play if Garcia is unable to go. As of right now, it appears Garcia will be a game-time decision in Atlanta.

“That’s the first time in the last couple of months we’ve seen him throwing the ball as well as he is,” Gruden said. “It’s a good sign for us.”

Gruden also said that DT Jovan Haye (knee), DT Chris Hovan (knee), G Sean Mahan (back), OL Jeremy Zuttah (ankle) and QB Brian Griese (right elbow) were limited in Thursday’s practice, while WR Michael Clayton (toe) was a full participant.
