Heard that he sat out of practice because of a sore ankle?? Is this true and should i be worried about this for this weekend against ALT??

 
You need to wait to see if he practices on Friday. A lot of players skip Wednesday and Thursday when they have a ding.

 
Please dont start a panic attack...do some research before posting this stuff.

Earnest Graham (ankle) was a limited participant at Bucs practice Wednesday.

Graham was never reported to have been injured, and the Bucs are coming off a bye week, so he's probably just getting rest. Nearly all of Tampa Bay's skill players were listed as "limited" in Wednesday's workout.

interestingly enough, the cbssportsline site which is affiliated with the rotoworld site (where this tidbit came) from has downgraded e grahams projections by 3-4 points since yesterday. but at the same time, that site still has lamont jordan projected to score more points than justin fargas and e graham as well, so i'm quickly losing faith in that site.but here is some more encouraging news from the rotoworld site:Michael Bennett-RB- Buccaneers Nov. 15 - 10:33 am et Michael Bennett has reportedly struggled to learn Jon Gruden's complicated offense in Tampa Bay.With Michael Pittman returning from an ankle injury, it's likely Bennett has lost the No. 2 job and all fantasy value. Bennett had a chance to earn himself a nice role in Pittman's absence, but his struggles with the playbook means he won't see much playing time.
 
Graham has taken a beating and he's nicked up. Having only had 50+ carries in his career and then having 34 two weeks ago has him slowed a bit. I know they're happy to have Pittman back in the mix because the special teams has suffered without Graham in there. He'll get his load lightened a bit down the stretch if Pittman is ready to go.

 
Perfect week for Pitt to make an impact...on turf, against a poor defense, Graham a little banged up.

The Team almost seems giddy to have him back.

Gump, your love for Pittman never ceases to amaze me. :D

On the side, what are the expectations of Pittman from here on out?

I'm thinking a little Julius Jones-like. They'll go ahead and let him take some series after Graham has a few. They'll leave him in if they get near the goal line. That sort of role I keeps Graham fresh and involves a guy that the team has a LOT of faith in. They want Pittman involved because they know his value.
 
Buccaneers | Pittman expected to play Week 11 - Fri Nov 16 3:28:00 p.m. PT 2007

(KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Michael Pittman (ankle) practiced Friday, Nov. 16, and is expected to play Week 11.

 
Bucs RBs Graham, Pittman both questionab... - Fri Nov 16 3:49:00 p.m. PT 2007

(Rotoworld) Earnest Graham (ankle) and Michael Pittman (lower leg) are questionable for Week 11. Graham was limited Friday, while Pittman worked fully.

Impact: It's a concern that Graham was unable to make it through a complete practice all week, but there have been no indications coming out of Tampa that he's in danger of missing Sunday's game. Pittman did practice fully and is expected to play on third downs against Atlanta. In an early game, this will be a situation to watch, though it'd be a shock if either back is inactive.

 
Nov 16 Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Earnest Graham (ankle) practiced Friday, Nov. 16, and is expected to play Week 11. Nov 16 Graham (ankle) was limited during practice again on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, the Bucs' official site reports.Recommendation: Already facing the potential return of teammate Michael Pittman, check back for the official word on Graham's availability prior to kickoff on Sunday. Even if Pittman is able to take some of the workload, Graham will get the touches around the goal line.
