Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount (knee) missed practice Wednesday, Oct. 19, and it looks like he will miss his second straight game in Week 7. He is walking with a tight wrap around his sprained left knee. RBs Earnest Graham and Kregg Lumpkin will likely handle the majority of touches again.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Earnest Graham is expected to have a chance to contribute from the tailback position in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. "You guys know Earnest has done everything for us," QB Josh Freeman said. "Whether it's playing fullback, being the third down back and now this week he's going to get the majority of the reps, the majority of the carries. I mean, he's done it before...he's a guy we know can get it done."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris indicated that the team will likely lean heavily on RB Earnest Graham in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints if RB LeGarrette Blount (knee) is unable to play. RB Kregg Lumpkin will likely be the third-down specialist. The team can also incorporate RB Allen Bradford into the game at some point.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount (knee) is unlikely to be available against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Also, the team doesn't expect DL Gerald McCoy (ankle) to be available after injuring his left ankle in Week 5. McCoy is being listed as week-to-week. RBs Earnest Graham, Kregg Lumpkin and Allen Bradford are options at running back if Blount cannot play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has been very effective on converting third downs this season, mainly because he is spreading the ball around to many targets. RB Earnest Graham and WR Preston Parker have been his favorite third-down targets this year. Parker is ranked second in the NFL in third-down receptions with 10, while Graham is tied for third overall with eight catches. TE Kellen Winslow has four third-down catches.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Earnest Graham has been taking most of the third-down snaps during training camp, and he is the favorite to land the role. However, RB LeGarrette Blount has gotten a share of the third-down snaps, too. Blount feels he can handle the role, as he has worked hard on his pass blocking and receiving skills.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers FB Earnest Graham is the front-runner to be the team's top backup to RB LeGarrette Blount this year. Graham could see less time at fullback as a result. Offensive coordinator Greg Olson said he has a lot of confidence in Graham and trusts him. He said if the season were to start today, Graham would be the team's third-down back. RB Kregg Lumpkin is also in the mix, and the team could always decide to re-sign free-agent RB Cadillac Williams. "I know Earnest can handle the third down role. We'll see if Kregg can do that, too," Olson said.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers FB Earnest Graham is being considered for short-yardage situations, reports Stephen Holder, of the St. Petersburg Times. The coaching staff is puzzled by the periodic inability of RB LeGarrette Blount to convert in those situations while he appears to display hesitation and indecision at the line of scrimmage. "We may have to look into a different direction in those situations but while we're still working with (Blount) at the same time," head coach Raheem Morris said Tuesday, Dec. 7.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount's power approach at running back has reminded head coach Raheem Morris of former FB Mike Alstott, according to The Tampa Tribune's Roy Cummings. The team will likely be using Blount as their short-yardage and goal-line back in the future. "He's not declared," said Morris, who indicated on his weekly radio show on Monday that Blount would be the Bucs' new option in goal-line and short-yardage situations. "But he's definitely going to have a role (there) if he's not the back. He still has to go out there and compete with Earnest a little bit, but I'm sure Earnest Graham will gladly run up the sideline and tap him in if he keep giving us runs like that."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris said free-agent RB Derrick Ward (Buccaneers) was not part of the team's long-term plans since RB Cadillac Williams is healthy and FB Earnest Graham will be a bigger part of the offense, report Wolf Heard and Charlie Campbell, of PewterReport.com. Morris said, "It's more about the resurgence of Mr. Cadillac, Mr. insurance Graham, where the team is heading and where we're going, our plan and direction, and how we want to go about our business. No decision is made lightly around here. It was just time to make it today." Morris added, "Right now, we have Cadillac who we are happy to have and also we have insurance Graham back there playing fullback for us and he is able to carry the ball as well. And also we have our little spark-plug in Huggy (RB Kareem Huggins) and he is able to come in and provide a different look for us and different turn around."
