    Bucs' Simms rushed to hospital after loss

    TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms was taken to a hospital for an undisclosed reason after Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

    According to broadcast reports, Simms suffered a ruptured spleen, and was in critical condition after having his spleen surgically removed.
    Lisa Patterson, a spokeswoman for St. Joseph's Hospital, said any other information would have to come from the Buccaneers, who declined to comment or confirm that the fourth-year pro was being treated a few blocks from Raymond James Stadium.

    Simms took several hard hits during the game and left for two plays in the second half. The team announced at that time that he was cramping, and the quarterback returned to help the Bucs take a fourth-quarter lead that the defense couldn't hold.

    Simms walked from the field on his own power late in the third quarter and again at the end the game, which Carolina won when John Kasay kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining. He completed 13 of 24 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

    Simms usually is made available for postgame interviews, however the Bucs said he would not speak to reporters because he was being examined by trainers and doctors.

    They reported it in game too, and the souce apparently was his mother.

    Fair to say a spleen removal qualifies as fairly serious.

    If it is spleen, theres no way he plays next week. He will have 48 hours ICU time at the very least. After that, he can eat. From there its continued observation. I'm sure he will get several units of blood, and fluids. He'll probably be home by friday. Not sure how long he would have to sit.



    EDIT: never mind, I see that he is out for 2 months minimum.
