Buccaneers backup Gabbert dislocates shoulder

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert suffered a dislocated shoulder in Friday night's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, coach Bruce Arians said.

It is not known yet if Gabbert will need surgery, but he appeared to be in considerable pain in the locker room after the game.

"His shoulder popped out," Arians said. "He was hurting pretty good, but [I told him], 'Good thing it's not your throwing shoulder. You'll be all right.'"

In the third quarter, Gabbert was scrambling for 8 yards on third-and-5 when Browns linebacker Adarius Taylor grabbed Gabbert's ankle trying to make a tackle.
