TAMPA — Bucs backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert’s dislocated non-throwing shoulder injury isn’t as serious as expected, coach Bruce Arians said Saturday, but in the short-term, Gabbert’s absence left the Bucs scrambling to find enough healthy quarterbacks to get through Thursday’s preseason finale in Dallas.

Gabbert injured his left shoulder in the second quarter of Friday's 13-12 preseason win over the Cleveland Browns at Raymond James Stadium.
