TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS October 11, 2004 12:55:45 PT

PREVIOUS UPDATES

OFFENSE
-- QB Chris Simms (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 6. Simms will not need to undergo surgery.
-- WR Joey Galloway (groin) will start running routes on his own this week. Galloway could start practicing with the team after the Bye week.

DEFENSE
-- MLB Shelton Quarles (quadriceps) is listed as probable for the Monday, Oct. 18, game at the St. Louis Rams. Quarles may miss some practice time this week with a quadriceps strain, but he should play in Monday's game.

NOTES AND MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES
-- 10/11 -- The Buccaneers still have not named a new starter at right tackle, but look for ORT Kenyatta Walker to continue to get a lot of playing time there. The team is saying now that its plan all along was to bring OT Todd Steussie in as a mentor for Walker, but it's hard to believe the Buccaneers would pay $4 million for a mentor. ... QB Brian Griese will be the team's third different starter at the quarterback position when Week 6 kicks off. He will replace injured QB Chris Simms (shoulder). ... Brad Johnson's agent denied speculation that Johnson would ask the Buccaneers to trade or release him. Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen also stated the team is not planning to trade Johnson. The NFL trade deadline is Oct. 19.

Re: Does anyone have an injury update?

With Martz's new stance about not releasing injury reports until the middle of the week, I would expect some more solid news to come sometime today or tomorrow.
