  Shaquil Barrett Done For The Season

  An MRI exam on Friday confirmed that Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He'll be out for the next seven to nine months, according to a source. It's a devastating season-ender for Barrett and the Buccaneers defense, a unit that was already going backwards entering Week 8. The 29-year-old can now be dropped in single-season IDP leagues. Carl Nassib and Anthony Nelson will now see more playing time the rest of the way with Barrett done for the season. Barrett will finish his 2022 campaign with 31 tackles (20 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, six QB hits and a forced fumble in eight games.

  Shaquil Barrett Could Be Done For The Year

  Tampa Bay Buccaneers star pass-rusher Shaquil Barrett (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens based on an initial exam, according to a source. Head coach Todd Bowles said it doesn't look good, and Barrett will undergo an MRI exam to confirm on Friday. It's devastating news for a Buccaneers defense that has struggled in recent weeks. The 29-year-old is arguably the defense's best player, so losing him for the rest of the season would be a major blow to the Buccaneers D/special teams unit in fantasy. Barrett had three solo tackles and a sack against Baltimore and has 31 tackles (20 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, six QB hits and a forced fumble through eight games in 2022.

  Shaquil Barrett Injured Thursday, Won't Return

  Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett (ankle) was injured on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Barrett was seen being carted to the locker room, and he didn't appear to be in very good spirits. However, we probably won't know more on the severity of his ankle injury until late Thursday night or Friday morning. Before leaving, the 29-year-old had four tackles and a sack for the Bucs defense and for fantasy managers in IDP formats. It remains to be seen if Barrett will be ready to return for a Monday night meeting with the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. For the rest of the game, Tampa will ask Carl Nassib and Anthony Nelson to step up.

  Shaquil Barrett Will Play Against Steelers

  Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett (illness) was listed as questionable coming into this Week 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite that, it sounds like Barrett is feeling good enough to play here. He's in uniform and should be able to play a full amount of snaps on Sunday. Through five games, Barrett has 21 tackles, two sacks, and one fumble forced. Having Barrett active is an upgrade to this Bucs defense, so fantasy managers using Tampa Bay's defense will be excited about this news.
