Report: Bucs RB Blount has MCL Grade 2 tear

[font="Arial][size="2"]Report: Bucs RB Blount has MCL Grade 2 tear[/size][/font]​

​

J.P. Peterson of WQYK-AM 1010 in Tampa reports LeGarrette Blount has a MCL Grade 2 tear.​

An MCL tear can leave a player sidelined anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Peterson hears that Blount is out "at least a few weeks," which means he won't be available through the Week 8 bye. The timetable isn't much different from the St. Petersburg Times report that Blount's status is already in question for Week 7. At this point, we wouldn't expect to see him before Week 9. Hold off on adding Kregg Lumpkin in all but the deepest of leagues. Oct 13 - 8:09 PM​

Their next five games are against New Orleans x 2, Chicago, Houston, and Green Bay. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they went 0-5.

7-9, 8-8, 9-7, it doesn't matter. I'd be shocked if they made the playoffs.

I agree, I think they are in trouble this year. They just haven't looked very good to me for the most part, no way they contend for the division or even the Wild Card this year, I just don't see it happening. Losing Blount will be a huge blow for them, especially against them teams.

Ah crap....not good news for the Bucs, Blount or my fantasy team.

Even with Blount I dont think they would make the playoffs this year. But yea this is a big blow for the Bucs I guess.

Bucs could be without Blount, McCoy, and Foster Sunday.

Should be an easy win for the Saints..

I agree. I thought they were incredibly overrated coming into the season.

That's quite a blow for their squad. I love Blount lol.

Me too I have to start Reggie Bush and Delone Cater this week with Ryan Mathews being on a bye-week

Hopefully, but I learned last season that nothing is guaranteed.

Though this years Saints team is much better than last seasons.

Damn you Bengals.

Damn you Bengals.

Deep down inside you thought the same thing, well at least liked your chances. I didn't see that happening but it happens, part of the NFL. You can't win all of the games.
