Bucs' Storer to miss 2009 season
Football Betting Lines
05/19/2009 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback Byron Storer will miss the 2009 season with a knee injury.
The team placed Storer on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a setback in his recovery from a 2008 knee injury during organized team activities last week.
Storer, a special teams player who also started three games at fullback early last season because of injuries to the team's running back corps, became part of the casualty list in the sixth game of the 2008 campaign on October 12 against Carolina.
In 15 games, including six starts, over his first two seasons, Storer has two catches for three yards and 16 special teams tackles.
Storer was first signed by the Bucs as a rookie free agent in May 2007 and earned a spot on the team's practice squad in training camp that summer before being promoted to the active roster in October.
The Cal product is not eligible to play again until the 2010 season. He won't count against Tampa Bay's 80-man offseason roster limit this summer.
