ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Joey Galloway is not ruling himself out for Sunday's home game against Carolina.

The St. Petersburg Times reported on Thursday that the 14-year veteran has resumed football activities and is considering a return to the field this weekend.

Galloway has missed the last three games with a right foot sprain suffered September 14 against the Atlanta Falcons.

"It's tough to sit back and watch," Galloway told the Times. "But like I said, finally I'm running. So at least I feel like I'm preparing myself to come back. That's exciting. When you're hurt, it's the little things that matter. That day you finally get to do some cutting and catch a football - that kind of stuff."

Galloway, 36, has eight receptions for 74 yards in two games for the Buccaneers (3-2), who passed for 181 yards in a 16-13 loss to Denver last Sunday.

"To see the offense go through some struggles like we have the last couple weeks and not be able to help, I don't by any stretch of the imagination want to say I would've changed those games, but I do my part in this offense and right now I'm not there to do that. That's tough to sit there and watch," Galloway said.
