]]> Here are some Buc Bits – small, bits of news about the Buccaneers to help you get through the busy work day.

Aqib Talib will play Sunday after missing the Cleveland game due to a suspension. Talib joining the active roster means the Bucs will have to cut one player today in order to stay at the 53-man roster maximum.

Maurice Stovall was inactive against Cleveland even though he says his ankle is ready to go. It was a coach’s decision not to put him on the active day 46-man roster. The big question is, will he be cut? The Bucs are happy with Williams, Stroughter, Spurlock, and Benn is filling in on special teams. There may not be a spot for him.

Keydrick Vincent might be part of a rotating guard situation to bring in Zuttah on passing downs. Vincent is physical on running plays, but is older and needs more time to recover and is not that gifted on passing downs. Zuttah is younger, athletic and can protect better on passing downs, but is not as physical on running plays. It is an odd situation which does not look too good at the moment. Using multiple offensive linemen during the game does not go well for continuity.

The Bucs are reporting no injuries today, good news as they prepare for Carolina this Sunday.

]]> This will become a weekly series to help keep you up to date with the injuries, roster changes, and other moves that will shake up the Buccaneers roster as they prepare for game week.

Quarterback Josh Freeman was throwing yesterday after his cast was removed from his injured thumb. He was not throwing today, but appears to be on schedule to start the game Sunday.

Corner back E.J. Biggers will get the start at left corner due to the one game suspension of Aqib Talib. He beat out rookie corner back Myron Lewis as well.

Safety Sean Jones gets the start ahead of Sabby the Goat, nothing surprising here.

Rookie receiver Mike Williams and Sammie Stroughter are the two starting receivers. Maurice Stovall was back at practice, but will not start against Cleveland.

Newly acquired running back LaGarrette Blount was added to the active roster.

Keydrick Vincent will start at left guard ahead of Jeremy Zuttah.

Defensive tackle Roy Miller will start at nose tackle ahead of rookie Brian Price, but expect Price to get onto the field early and often.
