TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay running back Carnell ``Cadillac'' Williams sat out Sunday's game against Miami because of a sprained left foot. The injury also sidelined him the previous week against the New York Jets. Williams practiced during the week, but was listed as questionable to play against the Dolphins in what would have been a long-awaited matchup between him and fellow rookie and former Auburn teammate Ronnie Brown, Miami's first-round draft pick. Williams opened the season by becoming the f |

| Carnell "Cadillac" Williams practiced on Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams, who has been nursing a sprained foot and a hamstring ailment, was inactive for this past Sunday's 14-12 loss to the New York Jets. He practiced and head coach Jon Gruden said Williams looked good, but has some lingering effects from the injury. "I think he did a little bit more than he did yesterday," said Gruden on Friday. "He's getting a little bit better. He's still questio |

Cadillac Williams has been instrumental in the resurgence of the Bucs, who won five games last year. He sat out last week's 14-12 loss to the New York Jets because of a foot sprain and sore hamstring, but was optimistic about playing against the Dolphins after practicing Wednesday and Thursday. ``Realistically, I think there's a pretty good chance,'' he said.

Tampa Bay was also a loser last week, dropping a 14-12 road decision to the New York Jets without Cadillac Williams in the backfield. Williams was nursing foot and hamstring injuries, but is expected to play against Brown and the Dolphins this week.

| (Best E Casino) - Fans of the New York Jets want to believe that Vinny Testaverde is the savior that will lift their team back into Super Bowl contention in 2005. Supporters of the Buffalo Bills feel much the same way about Kelly Holcomb. Barring the unlikely event of the NFL's first tie since 2002 when the Jets and Bills meet at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, either Testaverde or Holcomb will be 2-0 as a starter this year. And that means at least one of the veteran signal-callers will be subject to bucke |

Testaverde's got a few funny ``Hey, I was in second grade when you played'' stories himself now that he's back for his 19th season and second stint with the New York Jets. ``Last week, I walked into the locker room and I had some Rust-Oleum on my bench,'' Testaverde said, referring to the mock present he received from linebacker Jonathan Vilma. ``He was trying to get the rust off me. That was a big hit.'' Holcomb |
