TAMPA - Cornerback Torrie Cox returned to the lineup against the Packers after his DUI arrest two weeks ago earned him a one-game suspension. The missed game was difficult to swallow, but it allowed Cox to return with a renewed passion. 'I just wanted to be back,' Cox said. 'We're winning right now. And I can't sit out and not be a part of this. This is my team, too, my teammates, coaching staff. It felt good just to be out there. It had me amped up just to be out there on the field.' Cox said he accepted the penalty imposed by team officials, who decided he would be inactive for the home opener against Buffalo.
'When something happens, you have to pay the price for it,' Cox said. 'It was hard to just watch, but it's something that happened. I just get back on track and keep my head focused and get out here and help this team win.' Cox still must deal with the DUI charge and resulting probation violation that led to a second arrest days later. In the meantime, Cox's focus is special teams."
