The Buccaneers have taken a hit on their defensive line.
Veteran defensive tackle Akiem Hicks tore the plantar fascia in his foot and is expected to miss a month, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The 33-year-old Hicks signed with the Bucs in June and has started both games so far this season.
Defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches will likely see more playing time while Hicks is out.
