Buccaneers RB and DE will miss season finale

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Earnest Graham and defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson will not be available in their Buccaneers jerseys for this Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, because both have suffered injuries during last Sunday’s victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Graham tore a ligament in the big toe on his right foot Sunday. Wilkerson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Both were placed on injured reserve Monday. Tight end Ryan Purvis was promoted from the practice squad to fill one of the roster openings, as for the other, no decision has been made.
