The Tampa Bay Buccaneers tomorrow will work out former Rams receiver Drew Bennett.

Bennett was the Rams' No. 2 receiver last season after they released Isaac Bruce, but he broke his foot on the fourth play of the Rams' regular-season opener.

The Bucs also are expected to work out former Panthers and Seahawks receiver D.J. Hackett Tuesday.

Hackett, 27, played in nine games last season with Carolina, including two starts. He had 13 catches for 181 yards and no touchdowns.

Prior to 2008, Bennett had only missed five games in the previous four seasons. He could provide the Bucs with a veteran at their No. 3 wide receiver, behind Antonio Bryant and Michael Clayton.

Bennett, 30, played six seasons with the Titans. Between 2004-06, Bennett averaged 61 catches for 907 yards and six touchdowns.
