In two short weeks, Ben Gottschalk played a ton of snaps at center and started Sunday at left guard — and he played well.

Now he’s done for the year.

Those were Gottschalk’s first NFL regular season snaps after two-plus seasons fighting for a shot in the league.

The Bucs announced he was placed on injured reserve today. Gottschalk went down on the field in the first half against the Chiefs.

Tampa Bay promoted Josh Allen from the practice squad. Allen had some rough moments on the field for the Bucs in past year, but he did have a solid preseason. Like Gottschalk, he can play guard or center.

The Bucs did some other roster shuffling, including releasing running back Russell Hansbrough from the practice squad, a sign Jacquizz Rodgers could be ready to roll against the Seahawks.
