    ....and placed P.J. Hill on IR. Guess they're not going to just hand the 3rd TB spot to Ivory.

    Unspecified triceps injury the other night. In the 4th, he tried to catch himself when he got tripped up on a run, and it looked like his arm just planted in the turf. My first thought was hyperextended the elbow, but obviously more serious than that.

    Out of high school in Ohio, Wynn was a Parade All-American, Rivals100 (#48), and the Rivals #4 RB recruit in the nation.

    For Urban Meyer's Florida, Wynn was the Gators' leading rusher as both a junior ('05) and a senior ('06). In his last game at Florida, he rushed for 69 yards against Ohio State in Florida's 41-14 National Championship blow-out victory. As a junior in '05, Wynn ran for 93 yards on 16 carries (5.81 YPC) against #6 LSU in Death Valley. He didn't play against LSU as a senior in '06 (injury? suspension?). It's the only game he didn't play in that National Championship season.

    Don't know, was arrested about two years ago for guns and drugs:

    Alley Broussard arrested with guns, drugs

    I'll never forget the Ole Miss game, he almost single handedly won that game for us.
