Buccaneers place DE George Johnson on the injured reserve
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Friday that defensive end George Johnson has been placed on injured reserve.
According to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, Johnson suffered a hip fracture in Thursday’s practice and calls a 16-week absence the “best-case scenario.”
The Buccaneers traded the Lions to land Johnson, but he has not been very good. He was benched after three games with the Bucs, and did not register a sack with the team throughout 11 games. By placing him on the I/R, Johnson will be out the entire season.
