New head coach Raheem Morris has that the starting QB position battle between Byron Leftwich and Luke McCown is too close to call. Each will play more than a quarter Thursday.

Tampa Bay RB Cadillac Williams will play for the first time since having major knee surgery seven months ago. Williams has looked good in practice, will start and share time with Derrick Ward and Earnest Graham into the third quarter as that’s when the starters are expected to play until.

For Miami, starting QB Chad Pennington will play the entire first half and a series in the second half. QB of the future, Chad Henne will take over, while Pat White may get some mop up duty late. One source says that Henne will finish after taking over for the older Chad.

The starting offensive line will play three quarters, though Shawn Murphy and Donald Thomas could split time at starting RG and Thomas is battling to take over the position.

TBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams will get most of the carries.
