Tampa, FL (My Sportsbook) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Cadillac Williams and Earnest Graham and wide receiver Antonio Bryant are all questionable for the team's game Sunday against the New York Giants. Williams missed Thursday's practice but participated fully on Friday, and head coach Raheem Morris said the team will just wait and see how he feels on game day. Williams has been suffering from knee soreness from the turf. The 27-year-old Williams has made a comeback this year after playing in just 10 games the last two seasons due to a devastating knee injury. In two starts so far in 2009, Williams has 106 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Graham has been battling a hamstring problem and has been limited in practice all week. He has just three carries in the first two weeks for 17 yards. With the injuries to the two running backs, Morris said Derrick Ward may get an increased workload against his former team. Ward, who ran for 1,025 yards and made 41 catches for 384 yards with the Giants last year, has actually had the biggest workload for Tampa Bay this season. The 29-year-old has 21 carries in the two contests -- both losses -- for 94 yards and a touchdown. Bryant has had knee issues since the preseason and didn't suit up last week. He made only two catches for 29 yards in Week 1.
