The Facts:
Alstott will miss the upcoming campaign due to a neck injury that has forced the Buccaneers to place him on injured reserve. That announcement was made on Thursday afternoon at the Bucs' headquarters in Tampa, where the team has returned in order to play its preseason opener against New England on Friday night.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As for his latest neck injury and his current NFL status, Alstott has not yet decided whether he will attempt to extend his career in 2008 and beyond. Whether or not it has another chapter or two, Alstott's career has been nothing short of magnificent. His career totals include 5,088 rushing yards, 305 receptions, 71 total touchdowns and an additional seven scores in the postseason. He is only the second player in franchise history to pass the 5,000-yard rushing mark, and he reached that total even though he has essentially never been the team's lone primary running back.
