The Marcus Tubbs knee injury sounds pretty serious, even possibly career-ending. He was getting scanned during Holmgren's press conference and an official announcement will be made tomorrow morning, but right now I think he is a good candidate for IR. They are unable to place him on the PUP list, is my understanding, because he already was on that and then passed his physical. If they keep him on the active roster, he will be there and not able to contribute. If he goes on IR, he is done for the year and will not have played in almost two years by the time he comes back. Holmgren had this cryptic quote: "He's just one of those players where he's a very talented player who can't get on the field. Call it unlucky. Call it whatever. the injury bug has prevented him from reaching his potential on the field."

Josh Wilson had a bruised hip. Holmgren said it did not sound serious even though he went off on a cart.

Holmgren said he initially did not think Ben Obomanu would be ready for the Tampa Bay game, but he said since Obomanu has never been injured before, he may be ready. That is wait and see.

Michael Boulware has a strained hammy, not a bad ankle. Don't know how that factors into Saturday's decisions.

No word on Pat Ross. No word on Chris Spencer.
