Cadillac is back.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Cadillac Williams is active today at Detroit.
Williams had been listed as questionable. Bucs coach Jon Gruden was coy in discussing Williams this week, saying, “Carnell has done some good things and I think he’d be ready to play. There’s a chance.”
When he takes the field today, Williams will play for the first time since he ruptured a patellar tendon against the Panthers in Week 4 of last season. Williams showed a lot of promise as a rookie, rushing for 1,178 yards in 2005. But he has a total of just 1,006 yards since then.
