| Tampa, FL (MySportsbook) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed safety Jermaine Phillips on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a fractured left thumb in Sunday's 33-20 loss to Buffalo. It marks the second year in a row that Phillips has ended the season on injured reserve. He fractured his right forearm late last season, an injury that also cut short his 2004 campaign. Phillips started the Bucs' first two games of 2009 and accumulated 11 tackles. The eighth-year pro has spent his entire NFL career with Tampa B |

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jermaine Phillips will miss the remainder of the season with a broken left thumb. The Bucs made the announcement Tuesday, placing the eighth-year pro on injured reserve. He was hurt during Sunday's 33-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Losing Phillips weakens a struggling secondary that was already playing without starting safety Tanard Jackson, who was suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL subtonic abuse policy.

BUCCANEERS: MACABRE CLOUD SURRONDS DEFENSE At this point, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might have to do some investigating to see if their defense is allergic to the playing field. After all, the players don't stay out there very long and when they do return to the sidelines, they are out of breath and looking rather ragged. Two games |

BILLS: The Buffalo Bills knew they should have entered their home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a 1-0 football team. To their credit, however, Dick Jauron's club didn't allow their choke-artist performance against the Patriots in Week 1 to obscure their focus, coming together on a short week to out-class the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 33-20.

| (MySportsbook) - The Buffalo Bills showed they can go toe-to-toe with one of the NFL's heavyweights in their season opener. Now the team must prove it can bounce back from a gut-wrenching loss when it takes the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills gave the mighty New England Patriots all they could handle in a thriller that kicked off the league's Monday night schedule, but a costly late miscue combined with the precision passing of Tom Brady resulted in a heartbr |
