The Buccaneers lost to the Redskins on Sunday after holding a 24-0 lead in the first half of the game and they also believe they lost one of their wide receivers for the season.
Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Buccaneers think Louis Murphy suffered a torn ACL when he hurt his knee while making a 29-yard catch in the first quarter of the game. Murphy didn’t return to the game after getting hurt and will be done for the season if the initial diagnosis is confirmed.
The Buccaneers also saw Vincent Jackson leave the game with a knee injury in the second half and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has been out for weeks with a shoulder injury, which left Mike Evans getting all the action he could handle against Washington.
Donteea Dye was the only other healthy receiver by the end of the game, so the Bucs will need to make a roster move or two if Jackson can’t go in Atlanta next Sunday.
