Rookie quarterback Josh Freeman has a chance to contend for Tampa Bay's starting job. Luke McCown and Byron Leftwich have been battling out for the team's starting role. Freeman has shown progress in recent weeks, leading the coaching staff to contemplate injecting him into the race. "We discussed the Freeman plan [last week] and decided we'll probably go a week into training camp and revisit it and maybe expedite what he's doing," quarterbacks coach Greg Olson said. "We may get him involved earlier than we thought."
