Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A sprained right knee will sideline Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Mike Alstott for four weeks, Coach Jon Gruden said Monday.
Alstott suffered the injury Sunday in the Bucs' 19-7 win over the Chicago Bears.
"Our timetable right now says four weeks," Gruden said. "I'm very relieved, obviously, that it's no more serious than that, although a four-week injury is a serious injury for any running back or any professional athlete, but there is some relief in hearing that news, yes."
An MRI revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament. It is similar to an injury to his left knee in November 2000. He missed three weeks because of that injury.
Alstott, a second-round draft pick by the Bucs in 1996, has 137 yards on 37 carries with one touchdown this season.
