Freeman's thumb sprain doesn't concern Bucs' coaches

TAMPA --

The sight of Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman doing an interview with the NFL Network with tape wrapped around his right thumb left some Buccaneers and fantasy football fans concerned about his availability for this week's game against at New Orleans.

 All those concerned can stop worrying. Although he will be added to the injury report, Freeman is fine, according to head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Greg Olson.

 "He sprained it in the Chicago game (Oct. 23), came in and practiced during the bye week and didn't miss anything this week,'' Morris said. "I can make a big deal out of it if you want me to.''

 Morris suggested the Saints sparked the controversy by questioning why Freeman was not listed on the Wednesday injury report if he was wearing any kind of bandage.

 "Ask the Saints, they reported it," Morris said when first asked about Freeman's thumb injury. Morris later joked about the situation, saying: "You know, he might not be playing against the Saints, I don't know. I'll go Belichick on you guys.''

 That was a reference to New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who has a reputation for being extremely coy about injured players, even when their status for an upcoming game is common knowledge.

 Freeman has not missed any practice time because of the thumb sprain, which he received midway through the loss to the Bears in London.

 When asked whether it was a concern, Olson flatly said, "No.''

No surprise there. Even with a 100% healthy QB he doesn't call "pass" plays. Might as well throw it underhanded..

I think Belichick is the master of coachspeak, bar none.  Morris is the total opposite.  But I like his candid comments.

Andy Reid is also pretty good at not giving away ANY information.

Belichick was given 2 rules of advice from his father.  1. Work hard and 2. keep your mouth shut.
