Is Griese worth a pickup? What kind of numbers can be expected if he starts all year??
Jeff Garcia (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 2, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter.Schefter hinted that Garcia's injury may be more serious than the Bucs have let on considering the quickness with which he was considered "out." Garcia is 38 and relies on mobility, so a bad sprain would be worse for him than most QBs.
Brian Griese will start in Week 2 at Atlanta, Bucs coach Jon Gruden confirmed on Wednesday.Gruden says there's something "not quite right" with Jeff Garcia (ankle), and he'll get a week to "try to get himself right." However, a big game from Griese could spur Gruden to rethink his QB depth chart and Atlanta provides a nice matchup for Griese to make a move. Garcia's starting job is in great danger.Source: Tampa Tribune
