TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are placing Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen on season-ending injured reserve because of the knee injury he suffered in training camp last year, the team announced Saturday night.
"We're gonna be putting him on IR. He's gonna be done for the year," Bucs general manager Jason Licht said on the WFLA television broadcast of the team's preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens. "The selflessness, the toughness, the leadership he has -- we talked a couple weeks ago about this. It was an emotional moment for me, for [coach] Todd [Bowles] when we met with him, I know for everybody involved.
