Bucs' Simms has spleen removed after loss to Carolina
Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms had his spleen removed at a Tampa, Fla., hospital after rupturing it in Sunday's 26-24 loss to Carolina, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports.
According to a source close to Simms' family, the quarterback's condition has been stabilized after surgery, during which he received blood transfusions.
It is thought the injury occurred in the second quarter. Simms took several hard hits and left the game for two plays in the second half but returned to help the Bucs take the lead in the fourth quarter.

That sucks. The kid hasn't had the best start to the season, but he's got real heart. I really hope they got it out before any of the bad stuff got into him.

They are now saying he is probably done for the year.... Bruce Gradkowski backing up there in TB.

Dang!!! Looks like Carolina really kicked his behind! I'm glad we don't play them this year!

I'm not surprised to hear this, given that mega-hit he took on his touchdown run. That looked like it hurt.
