TBO.com reports Jeff Garcia plans to hop around the pocket for the Bucs against the Chargers on Sunday.

Joe can’t bear the thought of watching another Son of Bob performance, especially just before Christmas. It just kills the goodness of the holiday season, or any season, in fact. 

According to TBO.com, Garcia practiced this morning and plans to play on his improving calf injury against the Chargers on Sunday.

“I feel OK; I’m going to practice,’’ Garcia said. “I’m going to practice so I plan on being ready for Sunday.’’

Joe desperately wants to be optimistic about Garcia’s chances to play Sunday, but banking on a nearly 39-year-old QB who has a fresh injury is difficult.
