AP reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB/KR Torrie Cox was jailed early Tuesday after being charged with driving under the influence, his second drunken driving arrest in nine months. Cox was arrested by Tampa police at 3:19 a.m. after he refused a blood alcohol test. The third-year player also was arrested on a DUI charge last Dec. 4, and he was held out of a game against Atlanta the following day. It could not immediately be determined if that case is still pending. Cox is a reserve cornerback and one of the team's primary kick returners. He returned four kickoffs for 83 yards in Sunday's 24-13 season-opening victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He also made one tackle.

It would be hard for an average Joe charged with a second DUI in nine months to avoid at least a month behind bars. It likley means he also was driving on a revoaked liscense, without insurance and against a court order.

 

I would be surprised if we see him Sunday.

Antonio Brown is available again, he was cut yesterday by the Redskins.

 

The Redskins now have a grand total of 4 WR's on the roster. Maybe we can convince Fantasy Dan Snyder that Josh Reed is really Andre Reed and get a Day 1 pick for him.

Probably not an impossible thing for TD to pull off.

 

By the way, how funny is that QB controversary in Washington? Just about 18 months ago there were about four teams (the Bills included) who were willing to give a second or maybe even a first round pick for Patrick Ramsey. Now he is sitting again and will likely be the third QB by next season. Gibbs somehow lost his mind.

Oh, it's beyond controversy. Ramsey didn't show up for work yesterday.

Thanks. Now I'm reading that it is believed that he asked to be traded. The funny thing is that the Skins will get nothing now even close to what they would have a year ago.

 

Why the hell Gibbs is going with Brunell I'll never know.

The Tampa Tribune reports CB/KR Torrie Cox practiced with the Bucs on Wednesday, a day after he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence -- his second such arrest in nine months. But HC Jon Gruden said Cox would not play in Sunday's home opener against Buffalo. "His future status will be decided upon later, but he ain't playing in this game," Gruden said. As for Cox's replacement, Gruden said WR/PR Mark Jones and RB Michael Pittman are the top two candidates for the kickoff return job.
