Buccaneers' Patrick O'Connor: Ruled out for Week 5

O'Connor (calf) has been ruled out for Tampa Bay's Week 5 contest against the Dolphins, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

O'Connor injured his calf during the week and will be unable to play in Week 5. Steve McLendon could see more snaps at defensive end Sunday with the former seventh-round pick by Detroit ruled out. O'Connor's next chance to play will be in Week 6 on Thursday night against the Eagles.
