On to New Orleans we go, Buccaneers fans. It didn’t go how we had hoped on Sunday night, but we are still right in the thick of it. At 8-6 the Bucs sit in seventh place due to a tiebreaker being held by the Green Bay Packers.

Basically, Tampa needs to get back on the winning track and get some help along the way.

First things first, they have to beat the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs beat them the last time they met in early December and are looking to complete the sweep of the season series.

Let’s get to the injuries. The Bucs go first:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Robert Ayers	91	DE	Illness	Did Not Participate
Gosder Cherilus	78	T	Groin/Ankle	Did Not Participate
Demar Dotson	69	T	Concussion	Limited Participation
William Gholston	92	DE	Elbow	Did Not Participate
Gerald McCoy	93	DT	Foot	Full Participation

Unfortunately, Demar Dotson is still in concussion protocol. Did anyone think we would ever be clamoring for him to play? Well, watching Cherilus made us do exactly that. He sat out of practice today which might excite some of you. If Cherilus can’t go, we may see Leonard Wester, who took over for him in the fourth quarter in Dallas, take his place.

Now for the Saints:

Player	No.	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday
Delvin Breaux	40	CB	Shoulder	Did Not Participate
Dannell Ellerbe	59	LB	Foot	Limited Participation
John Kuhn	29	FB	Hip	Did Not Participate
Craig Robertson	52	LB	Shoulder	Limited Participation
Max Unger	60	C	Foot	Limited Participation

Unger and Kuhn are probably the most influential names on that list, and only one didn’t practice. It seems in the early going that the Saints will have much of their team ready to go on Saturday.

As always, we will track throughout the week.
