The Facts: Hc Jon Gruden said WR Ike Hilliard checked out the hospital last night and his concussion does not appear severe, while RB Warrick Dunn has a pinched nerve in his upper back.
Diehards Line:Gruden said Hilliard is probably questionable for Sunday’s game against Dallas, which will leave Tampa Bay in a major hole at receiver. The Bucs are all ready without WR Joey Galloway (foot), while WR Maurice Stovall (hamstring) is still recovering from his injury. Tampa Bay now must rely on WR Antonio Bryant, WR Michael Clayton and WR Brian Clark. Galloway must practice a full week before he plays. ... Gruden also needs more time to find out about Dunn’s injury, but if he is unable to play this week, Tampa Bay will probably utilize RB Michael Bennett.
