Panthers-Bucs from RayJay

First place in the NFC South is up for grabs today as the Bucs and Panthers prepare to square off here at Raymond James Stadium.

The Bucs will be without QB Brian Griese, as expected, who is inactive. Jeff Garcia gets the start with Luke McCown the primary backup and Josh Johnson listed at No. 3.

The starters at receiver are Michael Clayton and Antonio Bryant, with Joey Galloway still sidelined with a foot injury. Byron Storer starts for B.J. Askew at fullback, who is still out with a hamstring injury.

There's bad news for the Panthers. Starting offensive linemen Jeff Otah (RT) and Ryan Kalil (C) will miss the game with injuries. The Bucs need to capitalize by putting pressure on QB Jake Delhomme.

I'll see you in the comments section below. I think everyone knows the drill by now.
