Stroughter done for season with broken foot
Rookie wide receiver Sammie Stroughter, a seventh-round draft choice who made an impact in the passing game and return game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009, is out for the final two games with a broken right foot.
Stroughter was hurt in the second half of Sunday's 24-7 triumph at Seattle. He will be placed on injured reserve - the 14th Tampa Bay player on the list this season.
"What Sammie's done this year has been pretty impressive,'' Coach Raheem Morris said Monday. "You're talking about a seventh-round pick who has played a significant role, a guy who has given us max effort all year. You're talking about one of our better football players.''
Stroughter finished his rookie season with 31 catches for 334 yards and one touchdown reception. He also averaged 9.9 yards in 12 punt returns and 29.5 yards in returning 11 kickoffs, including a 97-yard return for a touchdown against Carolina.
