Caddy teed up for start

The Bucs are ready to give Cadillac Williams the go-ahead to return to active duty, according to the Tampa Bay Tribune. "It's a green light, but it doesn't mean it's a green light that he's a featured back," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said of Williams, who is expected to be added to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. Williams' first game could be as little as a couple of weeks away.
The 26-year-old hasn't featured at all since he tore the patellar tendon in his right knee in September 2007. Since then Williams has been rebuilding his knee and is just now just returning to game fitness.
On Monday, for the first time since launching his comeback bid, the Bucs' 2005 first-round draft pick practised in pads against the Bucs' regular defense. And the results were encouraging. "I was a little nervous about it, but it felt good to get knocked around and to bounce back up again and all that," Williams said. "I feel good. I feel like I'm good to go."
Meanwhile, in Washington, Olie Kolzig did not enjoy the best of homecomings against the Capitals, the Ligntning losing against his former team for the sixth consecutive time at the Verizon Center.It may only be seven months since the Lightning goaltender suited up for the Washington Capitals, but his ex-teammates didn't exactly roll out the red carpet in a 4-2 defeat.
The Capitals had fired three goals in seven shots before forcing Tampa Bay into a timeout. The Lightning did turn their game around in the second period, outshooting the Capitals 18-6 and getting on the board with the first of Gary Roberts' two goals, but it was too little, too late. Again.
"This was not the start we wanted and we have to improve," Kolzig said. "Guys have to somehow start looking in the mirror and do whatever it takes to be ready when the puck drops and that's what it comes down to."
