The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had their fear confirmed Monday, as an MRI revealed a torn Achilles tendon for Pro Bowl outside linebacker Shaq Barrett, per multiple reports.
Barrett suffered the injury during Thursday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and was quickly ruled out, which is rarely a good sign.
Currently riding a three-game losing streak, Tampa Bay will now be without their top pass rusher for the rest of the 2022 season.
Don’t be surprised if this news compels the Bucs to make a move before next week’s trade deadline to add another experienced pass rusher.
