Tampa Bay's active middle linebacker hurt his knee at Denver and didn't return in Sunday's 16-13 setback, but Ruud is optimistic he'll start at Raymond James Stadium against the Panthers, who lead the NFC South at 4-1.

With standout receiver Joey Galloway, who posted 1,000 receiving yards each of the past three seasons, sidelined by a foot injury, the Bucs were forced to rely on a group that previously had done little to suggest it could make up for Galloway's absence. ...more
