Definitely the Buccaneers are going through a very bad period. In addition to the losses piling up, the 2020 champions are losing an important asset from their defensive line. According to ESPN, tests have confirmed fears Shaquill Barrett has torn his Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season. His unavailability could go up to 9 months, the start of training camps for the next season.
Without its number one rusher pass, Tampa will have to rely on promising sophomore Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Carl Nassib.
Arrived in 2019 in Florida, the 29-year-old player immediately shined in Todd Bowles’ system, notably recording 40.5 in 54 matches, including 3 in 2022.
MRI confirmed that Bucs’ LB Shaq Barrett suffered a torn Achilles last night and will be out the next 7-9 months, per source.
