The Bucs promoted receiver Michael Spurlock to the active roster from the practice squad, filling the vacant roster spot created Wednesday when Torrie Cox was moved to injured reserve.

They also added Chad Lucas to the practice squad one day after he was released from the active roster.

Okay, we know what you're thinking: who? Well, Spurlock has been on the practice for some time now. He played his college ball at Mississippi but wasn't drafted. The 5-11, 200-pound 24-year old is probably going to be used mostly on special teams, though he could be pressed into duty as a receiver if necessary. Michael Clayton is not a lock to play against Arizona on Sunday.

Not sure whether this means the Bucs aren't interested in Mike Williams. But something I failed to consider yesterday was this: it was Raiders coach Lane Kiffin (Monte's son) who waived Williams. Wonder how that might influence the Bucs' opinion of him. I'm sure they'd ask for Lane's thoughts before expressing interest in a guy who has fallen woefully short of expectations.

On another note, Cox says he tore the ACL in his left leg, which is the same injury he sustained as a rookie in 2003.
