The Buccaneers lost wide receiver Louis Murphy for the season to a torn ACL this week and it looks like their wide receiver corps will also be without Vincent Jackson for a little while.

Jackson also hurt his knee during last Sunday’s loss and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the injury will keep him out for multiple weeks. The injury is not thought to put Jackson at risk of missing the rest of the regular season.

The Buccaneers played without Russell Shepard last week because of a hamstring injury, which left them with two healthy wide receivers for a portion of the game. That will likely cause the team to make at least one move to add a receiver this week and they have a roster spot open after placing Murphy on injured reserve Wednesday.

While the addition(s) will give the team more bodies at the position, it’s a good bet that Jameis Winston will be leaning heavily on Mike Evans until Jackson is healthy enough to return to the lineup since Donteea Dye is an undrafted rookie and any new arrival will be playing catchup in the middle of the season.
