Crockett's back; Askew might sit
Haven't been given a press release just yet, but FB Zack Crockett was around this morning and B.J. Askew's left ankle is back in a cast.
Seems like Askew might be scheduled for a week off as he is still dealing with a very sore ankle, and Crockett is presumably his replacement. Crockett was signed and later released earlier in the season, shortly after Michael Pittman sustained his ankle injury. Coach Jon Gruden said after Crockett's released that the Bucs may have a need for him later in the season.
Given his at least vague familiarity with the offense, he was probably the best option available to them. The Bucs also have Byron Storer on the roster but it's not clear who would start if Askew sits out this week. The goal is apparently to get Askew some rest with the playoffs approaching.
