Williams avoids banishment as Buccaneers prep for Packers
TAMPA Florida rookie running back Cadillac Williams wore a protective boot but said his left foot sprain is not serious and should not sideline him for the upcoming game against Green Bay. He rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown in a 19-3 win over Buffalo, becoming the first rookie with consecutive 100-yard starts since Edgerrin James in 1999.

Green refuses to quit on Cardinals after 0-2 start
Coach Dennis Green dismissed the idea that an 0-2 mark signals a doomed season for the Cardinals and noted similar starts across the NFL. He cited St. Louis 17, Arizona 12, and urged patience while six other teams also sat at 0-2. Oakland wideout Ronald Curry re-tore his left Achilles and will miss the rest of the season after re injuring the same tendon.
