The Tampa Bay Storm activated former Oakland Raiders tackle Lincoln Kennedy from injured reserve and sent linemen Rod Williams and Geir Gudmundsen to IR. The squad also signed former USF running back Clenton Crossley to the practice squad.

The 6-foot-7, 350-pound Kennedy was acquired from the Dallas Desperados Friday via a trade for future considerations. After spending the first four weeks of the season on IR in Dallas due to a broke finger on his right hand, today’s move will allow him to make his first AFL start Saturday against the New Orleans VooDoo.

Williams, in his ninth season with Tampa Bay, hurt his ankle Saturday in the 69-49 loss at San Jose. Gudmundsen, who injured his left ankle against New York March 23, re-aggravating the injury this week in practice. Anyone placed on IR must miss a minimum of four weeks.

Crossley played one season with Af2’s Florida Firecats and was a first-team Af2 all-conference player. During his college career at USF, he ended as the program’s third all-time rushing leader with 1,644 yards. He also collected 17 TDs in his four seasons (2001-04) with the Bulls.
