Buccaneers' Cam Gill: Able to play in Week 18
Rotowire
Gill (knee) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.
Gill was questionable entering Sunday due to a knee issue, but he's been cleared to play. The third-year linebacker has worked primarily on special teams this season, though he logged a season-high 22 defensive snaps against New Orleans last Sunday. That opportunity came with Shaquil Barrett sidelined due to a groin injury, but Barrett is back in action Sunday, so Gill may revert to a smaller role in a contest Tampa Bay needs to win to cement the NFC South title.

Buccaneers' Cam Gill: Nursing Lisfranc injury
Rotowire
Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Gill (foot) suffered a Lisfranc injury during Saturday's preseason game and will be down for a while, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The severity of the injury is still unknown, but it's a bad break either way for Gill, who was working to earn more reps at outside linebacker after playing most of his snaps on special teams over his first two years.
