The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 9-0 Sunday night to the New Orleans Saints. The loss hurt their chances of the #1 seed and only first round bye. But the injuries sustained in the loss, hurt much, much more than the loss itself.
That is already a massive blow to Bucs quarterback Tom Brady. Brady had become more and more reliant on Godwin in recent weeks. Brady also lost Mike Evans to a hamstring injury Sunday night. However, his injury is reportedly not serious and might be able to play next week.
But now there is news that running back Leonard Fournette might be done for the rest of the regular season. According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Buccaneers are likely to place Fournette on short-term injured reserve. He would miss the remaining three weeks of the regular season, at the very least.
If Fournette is indeed placed on injured reserve, Brady and the Buccaneers offense could be without the team's top three pass catchers. Fournette hasn't just run the ball extremely well this season, he also has been a bright spot out of the backfield. Fournette had 69 catches for over 450 yards.
It was reported earlier Tuesday that the Buccaneers are signing Le'Veon Bell. They are expected to lean heavily on Ronald Jones II at tailback. Jones II had a breakout season last year before landing in head coach Bruce Arians dog house early this season.
