Add this to the Buccaneers’ list of woes: Vincent Jackson has suffered a rib injury.
Jackson left today’s game against the Patriots after taking a shot to the ribs, and although he was officially listed as questionable to return, he appears to be out for the game.
Jackson has been the Bucs’ only big-play threat in the passing game this season, and without him the Bucs’ passing game is just about hopeless. The Patriots lead 20-3 in the fourth quarter and are in the process of putting away a win.
