    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the promotion of quarterback Rudy Carpenter from the practice squad. Linebacker Zac Diles has been waived to add Carpenter, who provides insurance at the quarterback position for the Buccaneers who may be without Josh Freeman, who is "Questionable" for tomorrow's game with a sore right shoulder. If Freeman cannot play, Josh Johnson would make his first start since the 2009 season. Originally signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State in 2009, Carpenter spent much of his first season on the Cowboys practice squad before the Buccaneers signed him to their active roster in Week 12 of the 2009 season.
