Buccaneers lose RB Graham for season with torn Achilles

Published: Oct 24, 2011 at 08:20 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Earnest Graham will have season-ending surgery on his torn Achilles' tendon, a league source said Monday.

Graham suffered the injury during the Bucs' 24-18 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday in London. He started the game in place of LeGarrette Blount, who missed his second consecutive game with a knee injury.

Kregg Lumpkin is the lone healthy running back on Tampa Bay's active roster. He carried the ball eight times for 15 yards Sunday.
