Tampa, FL (My Sportsbook) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp and safety John Lynch each missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, although both are expected to be in the lineup for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Sapp is bothered by a sore knee and Lynch also has a knee injury. Both are listed as probable. Bucs head coach Jon Gruden hopes both will be able to participate in Friday's workout. "They have legitimate injuries," Gruden said. "Warren has some swelling on his knee and John Lynch is a guy who was very questionable last week, played the whole game and is still a little bit sore. They need a little extra time to get ready to play a very physical Philadelphia team." Sapp has been bothered by the knee previously this season, but has not missed any game time. He has six sacks, 20 tackles and an interception this season. Lynch, meanwhile, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before last week's game against Cleveland, but played the entire game Sunday. He has 26 tackles this season. |
