  Buccaneers | Lawrence Tynes receiving extensive treatment    Wed Aug 28, 01:07 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Lawrence Tynes (toe) has returned to his home in Kansas City, where he's receiving additional treatment for his case of MRSA. RB Brandon Jacobs tweeted that Tynes has received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. A PICC line is used when the patient is expected to receive antibiotics for more than a few days and allows him to return home yet still receive IV treatment, which can last for weeks or even months. The team seems likely to place him on the non-football-injury list to begin the season.

  Buccaneers | Rian Lindell agrees    Tue Aug 20, 11:30 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms with free-agent PK Rian Lindell (Bills) Tuesday, Aug. 20, according to a team source.

Footballguys view: Lindell was released by the Bills because his leg isn't as strong as it used to be. The Bucs regular kicker Lawrence Tynes may be headed for Injured Reserve because of a toe injury that has taken him out of action. Lindell should have no problem winning the job over UDFA Derek Dimke.
