The Bucs’ playoff victory over the Washington Football Team on Saturday saw wide receiver Mike Evans bounce back with a big performance after suffering a knee injury in Week 17, but the Bucs found themselves now facing another crucial injury as right guard Alex Cappa left the game with an ankle injury.
Offensive guard Ted Larsen was elevated from the practice squad earlier in the week and ultimately stepped into Cappa’s place for the remainder of the game, but head coach Bruce Arians gave an injury update in his post-game press conference that insinuated the Bucs’ could be moving forward without their starting right guard.
“It looks like a fracture,” Arians said. “Hopefully we’ll check on another X-ray with a better X-ray machine but right now it does not look good.”
