11/19/2008 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Earnest Graham and rookie linebacker Geno Hayes on injured reserve Wednesday, ending their seasons.
The Bucs also signed running back Noah Herron and linebacker Matt McCoy on Wednesday.
Graham suffered a right ankle injury in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The five-year veteran was hurt on his first carry of the game and had to be helped to the sideline. Graham had also been nursing a knee injury in the week leading up to the game.
Graham and Warrick Dunn had split the running back duties this season, so Dunn will probably see more carries as a result of the injury. Graham leads the team with 563 yards and four touchdowns, while Dunn has chipped in 476 yards and one score.
Former first-round draft pick Carnell "Cadillac" Williams is also an option for the Bucs. Williams was activated off the physically unable to perform list early last week and has not played an NFL game since September 30, 2007 when he suffered a torn patellar tendon in a contest against Carolina. He returned to practice late last month after an arduous recovery and rehab.
Herron played in five games for the Packers in 2005 after they signed him off Pittsburgh's practice squad. He returned and played in all 16 games in 2006, but missed last season after suffering a knee injury. The Northwestern product has rushed for 273 yards and three touchdowns on 85 carries in his career, and has 29 receptions for 211 yards and two scores.
Hayes, a sixth-round pick out of Florida State, has eight tackles on defense and seven special teams tackles. He also blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown in Tampa Bay's 27-3 win over Carolina on October 12.
McCoy, a fourth-year veteran who has also played with the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints, was released in October by the Bucs.
The 7-3 Buccaneers travel to Detroit to play the 0-10 Lions on Sunday.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
