Shaquil Barrett
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) suffered a tough, 27-22, loss to the Baltimore Ravens (5-3) on Thursday Night Football, but that was far from the worst of it, as outside linebacker ShaquilBarrett tore his Achilles and is out for the season.
The injury happened during the third quarter on a 3rd-and-1 running play. Barrett came off the field and was carted to the locker room. The two-time Pro Bowler had a sack, three tackles for a loss and four combined tackles before exiting the game.
The injury is the latest in a series of blows to the Bucs, who have lost five of their last six games.
Russell Wilson
Denver Broncos’ quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to play on Sunday, as the Jacksonville Jaguars “host” the Broncos in London. Wilson was out last week with a hamstring injury.
Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Wilson was able to practice on Friday with “no limitations.” Well, he is Mr. Unlimited.
Wilson was injured in the fourth quarter of the Broncos’ Oct. 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
