Earnest Graham, Jimmy Wilkerson placed on injured reserve

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Earnest Graham and defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson were placed on injured reserve, meaning they won't play in Sunday's season-ending game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Graham tore a toe ligament during yesterday's 20-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Wilkerson sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

They become the 15th and 16th Bucs placed on IR this season. In addition, fullback B.J. Askew was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list and guard Arron Sears on the reserve/non-football illness list.
