| Officially Terrell Owens status for Sunday’s playoff game against the New York Giants is still listed as a game time decision, but some teammates are expecting him to be on the field. “We’re all counting on him playing,” said tight end Jason Witten. “He’s a tough guy. Nobody wants it more than he wants it himself to get out there and play. He’s a quick healer, and he looked good out there, I thought.” Owens participated in what Wade Phillips called a “limp-through” practice, and is trying to work on getting his timing back. |

| Buccaneers running back Earnest Graham is looking for a new contract following his breakout season, according to the Tampa Tribune. He has one year left on his current contract. "Time will tell. Hopefully, I did enough for a new contract," Graham told the paper after Sunday's loss to the Giants. "It's a business and I'm not an expert on it, so we'll see how it goes." The Buccaneers would be wise to reward Graham, who makes $512,520 per year with his current deal, for his huge season. If Tampa give Earnest a long-term deal and Carnell Williams comes back from his surgery, it could create plenty of competition at the starting running back spot next season. |

When asked if he'd be available to face the Colts this weekend, Gates said, "I won't know until later this week," according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. You can expect him to do his best to get out on the field, but it's unlikely he'll be near full speed if he does play. |

| Jags coach Jack Del Rio wasn't optimistic yesterday about the odds of Mike Peterson returning from a hand injury to face the Pats this weekend. "Until we get that [medical clearance], it's not even something we can discuss," Del Rio said, according to the Florida Times-Union. Peterson said he plans to play, but like Del Rio point out, his wishes are moot until doctors clear him to hit the field. |
