TAMPA — A year ago, Bucs linebacker Riley Bullough was the training camp darling, an undrafted free agent with long blonde hair, the nickname of Fabio and a star of Hard Knocks.
Then the final preseason game came and went, he was cut by the team, then cut his hair and re-signed to the Bucs practice squad. In December, Bullough was promoted to the active roster.
He's had an outstanding month of August and was getting some time as the backup middle linebacker. But Bullough injured his foot and spent the past week in a walking boot.
