TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman injured his right shoulder in the closing seconds of a loss at Tennessee and is day-to-day for Sunday’s game against Carolina.
Coach Raheem Morris said Freeman was hurt on a quarterback sneak that was stopped for no gain, sealing a 23-17 loss to the Titans. The third-year pro did not throw in practice Wednesday, but participated in some drills.
News of Freeman’s latest injury came on the heels of the quarterback acknowledging he aggravated a sprained thumb when a pistol he was firing at a shooting range recoiled Oct. 31. He said he used poor judgment in firing a gun during the team’s bye week, but insisted a cut requiring five stitches did not affect his performance or grip on the football.
