Bucs coach Jon Gruden said SLB Cato June (foot) is doubtful for Sunday’s NFC Wild Card playoff game against the New York Giants.
“He got hurt in the Carolina game. I probably should have rested him,” Gruden said. “He has an injury that you can make progress, but if the injury is enough to keep you out of a football game when three or four days doesn’t make enough difference, it will be difficult to play. It’s unfortunate.”
As a result, it appears LB Ryan Nece will start in place of June and rookie backup Quincy Black could receive significant playing time.
Nece appeared in 15 games last season (11 starts) but has not played June’s position since Organized Team Activity.
“I may have experience, but in te NFL, what is in the past is in the past,” Nece said. “If you hold on to the past, you are mistaken. Nobody holds on to the past. What this game presents for this organization and team is going to be different. It’s the unknown. I look forward to what lies ahead this weekend.”
In addition, Gruden said he is hopeful LG Arron Sears (ankle) will be able to play on Sunday. Sears has been walking on his ankle this week, but is still in slight discomfort today. If Sears is unable to play, Matt Lehr will take his place.

Cato must play through his injury.As far as Plaxi goes we’ll just have to take his crippled ##### out! 12th man needs to show up BIG time.

My My Burris….bold statement considering your worthless QB is making a living (and a name) office his brother Peyton. I wouldn’t worry about winning the game. What I would worry about is whether or not you have nary a tooth in your head after Tenard Jackson puts the wood to your big, ugly head. Bucs 27 Giants 17. Have fun watching the Bucs - Cowboys game from your commpfy, cozy, futon. Oh….one last thing. It’s TAMPA…..Not Tampar. What a silly, stupid, accent.

The people of Chester(UK or USA) are true Bucs fans that believe this should, could, might no, IS another magical year. In 2002, I think Joe Jurevicius was injured and doubtful for the NFC Championship up here in the Philly area. I believe. We believe. Are the players willing to believe? The country is ignoring and not really giving Tampa a serious consideration as a NFL team!! Look how much more time all the other teams get on Sportscenter compared to our Great Bucs!! We broke old trends that year(winning in 40 degree weather, etc.)and this year Mr. Spurlock finally broke one for us!! Bottom line: Get better Cato and TAMPA….BAAYYYYYY!!!!!!

I’ve heard that he’s broken his foot.
Don’t know if there is any truth in it - but the Bucs are very cagey about this injury.

You could have Dick Butkus replacing June and it won’t matter. I will easily torch your secondary for 145 yards and 3 TD’s…..Giants 34 Bucs 20
