Jeff Garcia Questionable For Falcons Game With High Ankle Sprain

Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia is questionable for next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a high ankle sprain:
Bucs quarterback Jeff Garcia is questionable for next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle sprain, Jon Gruden said during his news conference Monday at One Buc Place.

Garcia, who battled calf and pinkie injuries during the preseason, has swelling on his ankle. Gruden said an update would come in the next couple of days.

Garcia wasn't totally impressive in Tampa's 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He did throw for 221 yards but tossed a bad interception as the Bucs were driving to win the game.
"I lost track of where the linebacker was," Garcia said. "If I had to do it all over again I probably would have gone outside and given Antonio [Bryant] a shot."

Tampa hosts Atlanta next week ... a team flying high with an impressive victory to begin the Matt Ryan/Michael Turner Era of Dirty Bird Football.
