Mack appeal denied by NFL
Elbert Mack's appeal of his one-game suspension was denied by the NFL, meaning he will miss Sunday's game at Chicago.
The Bucs rookie defensive back was suspended for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan Sunday following a fumble recovery.
Mack appealed the suspension, hoping he would be allowed to play against the Bears. But the were informed that the suspension was upheld. To replace Mack, the Bucs signed Marcus Hamilton from the practice squad.
"It doesn't look good I guess,'' coach Jon Gruden said. "We've got to get another man up and ready to play. If you remember, Marcus had a good training camp and he'll play if needed.''
