</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Bucs coach Raheem Morris hinted Monday that he doesn't anticipate LeGarrette Blount (knee) playing Sunday against the Saints.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>"I don't want to rule (Blount) out, but I'm not looking at him. It is what it is. Next man up," said Morris. "I'd like to get more detailed information on him. I'll call him day-to-day for now." The St. Petersburg Times expects Earnest Graham to receive "a bulk of the carries" against New Orleans, with Kregg Lumpkin and Allen Bradford also in the mix for work.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>The St. Petersburg Times reports the "sense" at Bucs headquarters is that LeGarrette Blount (knee) will not play in Week 6.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>It's the sense we've gotten too, because Blount took a hard helmet to the knee in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and couldn't return. He wasn't made available to speak to reporters Wednesday morning. 31-year-old third-down back Earnest Graham will try to pick up most of the slack, but ultimately the Bucs probably won't have much rushing success against the Saints. Kregg Lumpkin and sixth-round rookie Allen Bradford are alternatives at tailback.

LeGarrette Blount - RB - Buccaneers </TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>With Earnest Graham (injured reserve, Achilles) out, LeGarrette Blount expects to be the Bucs' primary third-down back going forward.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>We're skeptical Blount is capable of handling the role in the long-term. He's really just an early-down bruiser that has a total of nine catches in 18 career NFL games. Look for the Bucs to quickly realize that Kregg Lumpkin is a better option in passing situations. But for now, Blount gets a little boost in PPR formats.
