Buccaneers' Jacquizz Rodgers: Team implies injury could be serious

Rodgers, who exited Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Raiders late in the fourth quarter with a foot injury, could be in for a multi-week absence according to head coach Dirk Koetter's comments following the contest. "I'm not sure. I don't think it's probably good."

Koetter also went on to say that the injury is specifically ankle-related, lending further credence to the notion that Rodgers may not see the field for a while, given how such ailments can linger. However, the matter remains highly speculative for the moment, but more information regarding the running back's status should come to light at some point Monday. Rodgers has filled in admirably in the absences of Doug Martin (hamstring) and Charles Sims (knee), and if he's unable to take the field in just four days against the Falcons, the Bucs could be down to Antone Smith and Peyton Barber in the backfield if Martin is unable to return to action.
