The Facts:
The Bucs will assess Garcia's calf injury over the next few days. HC Jon Gruden hopes to choose Sunday's starting quarterback by Wednesday. "Hopefully Garcia in the next 48 hours feels a lot better," Gruden said. "We need him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The injury caught the Bucs off guard heading into Sunday's game at Atlanta. "We prepared Jeff to play. Neither Luke nor Brian got a heck of a lot of reps," Gruden said. "Neither one of those guys was really prepared to be the starter." Asked to assess Brian Griese's performance against the Falcons, Gruden said "(Griese) went out there and did some excellent things." Though Gruden said inactivity contributed to Brian Griese's four sacks, he acknowledged Griese's job was hindered by costly penalties and poor field position.
