Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Bucs QB Simms hurts left shoulder

NEW ORLEANS -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms hurt his left shoulder when he was sacked Sunday by Saints defensive lineman Will Smith.

The New Orleans rookie sacked Simms with 42 seconds left in the first quarter. Simms fumbled on the play and Smith was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

The left-handed Simms, making his first NFL start in his second pro season, went to the sideline holding his arm. He was taken to the locker room to be checked.

Brian Griese replaced Simms.

he makes his first start and leaves shortley after. Griese did play well and earned Tb a victory

I don't understand why they made Johnson the 3rd stringer for today, though. He just won the super bowl not that long ago...
