The Tampa Bay Buccaneers not only suffered a brutal loss against the Washington Redskins in Week 7, but they also suffered a tough loss at the wide receiver position as well.
According to JoeBucsFan.com, wide receiver Louis Murphy was confirmed to have a torn ACL, per head coach Lovie Smith. Murphy will go on injured reserve with the injury, which will obviously impact Jameis Winston and the passing game a bit moving forward.
