"Three quarters of the way through a season that will not end the way he hoped, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman has had to rearrange his priorities.

Winning still is what matters most, of course, but after he was forced to miss last week's 38-19 loss to the Carolina Panthers because of a sore right throwing shoulder, Freeman says getting healthy is second on the list.

"After that, I want to see us get back to executing the way we know we can,'' Freeman said.

Though Freeman expected his throwing to be limited in practice again this week, he is confident he will be back in the lineup when the Bucs (4-8) take on the Jaguars (3-9) on Sunday in Jacksonville."
