WR Andre Rison reported to Tampa Bay team headquarters Monday as the Buccaneers prepared to see if one of the top receivers of the 1990s has any game left.

"I was associated with him in his last down that he played in the league," Bucs Coach Jon Gruden said about 90 minutes before the three-time Pro Bowler arrived in town. "He played a major role, a huge role, on a team that won 13 games."

Rison, 36, is ranked 14th on the NFL's all-time receiving chart with 743 catches to go with 10,205 yards and 84 touchdowns spanning 12 seasons for seven teams.
