TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaq Barrett, who led the Bucs with 10 sacks this season prior to suffering a knee injury in Week 16, will be out again this week due to the injury and testing positive for COVID-19, coach Bruce Arians announced Friday. The team has not formally placed him on the reserve/COVID-19 list but the move is forthcoming.
The Bucs' other starting outside linebacker, Jason Pierre-Paul, will once again be out as well, having missed the last two weeks with a torn rotator cuff that's hampered him all season.
