Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard will not play again in 2018. Tampa Bay placed Howard on injured reserve after suffering ankle and foot injuries.
Howard went down late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants after making his last catch of the contest.
Although the Buccaneers are mostly out of the playoff race, Howard’s injury is a tough break. In both of his NFL seasons, he has ended the season on injured reserve with lower leg injuries.
