 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms practiced Tuesday and said the sprained thumb on his throwing hand will not keep him from playing this week against the Atlanta Falcons.
"I'm young and I'm resilient," the third-year pro said. "It's a physical sport. You expect to get hit and be ready to go the next week."
Simms was sacked seven times in last Saturday's 28-0 loss to the New England Patriots, absorbing the worst physical pounding of his brief career. He injured his thumb during the second quarter, but continued to play and finished 21-of-34 for 155 yards.
