Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter told the media on Monday that the team was more beat up following the Falcons game than any other game so far this season.

Koetter wasn’t joking.

The  Buccaneers announced on Wednesday that tackle Demar Dotson and center Ali Marpet have been placed on Injured Reserve. The team has promoted tight end Alan Cross, defensive end Patrick O’Connor and wide receiver Bobo Wilson from the practice squad to the active roster and signed cornerback Deji Olatoye (pronounced Day-zhee OH-la-toy-aye) to the active roster.

Dotson and Marpet have each started all 11 games for Tampa Bay this season.

Former starter Joe Hawley most likely will fill in for Marpet for the remainder of the season. The right tackle position might be a little trickier. Kevin Pamphile could move from guard to fill in as he did when Dotson was injured late last season, or the Bucs could trust Caleb Benenoch, who subbed in for Dotson on Sunday at Atlanta. Pamphile’s availability to move to tackle may depend on the health of Evan Smith(concussion) who was unable to play the last two weeks due to a concussion. Pamphile was also shaken up in the Atlanta game and had to leave briefly. His availability for Sunday could also be in question.

In addition to Dotson and Marpet out for the year, the Bucs could also be without running back Doug Martin and safety T.J. Ward who reportedly suffered concussions on Sunday against the Falcons and are in the concussion protocol.
