Bruce Arians: Tampa Bay Buccaneers LB Shaq Barrett has sprained ACL, MCL

Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaq Barrett suffered a sprained ACL and MCL in Tampa Bay's 32-6 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, coach Bruce Arians announced Monday.

"It's not severe, but he's probably out for the rest of the regular season," Arians said. "Hopefully we'll have him back for the playoffs."

Barrett, who notched his team-leading 10th sack of the season Sunday -- becoming just the fourth player in franchise history with two 10-sack seasons -- suffered the injury in the second quarter, left the game and attempted to return in the third quarter but was able to play only a series before being ruled out.
