Shaq Barrett, the Buccaneers starting strongside linebacker, suffered a knee injury just before halftime and will not return to the game.
We didn't see a specific injury play for Barrett, but his absence leaves Tampa Bay down three starting linebackers.
Jason Pierre-Paul was inactive for the game with a shoulder injury and Lavonte David is on IR with a foot injury.
Those three absences could make it tough for the Buccaneers to get pressure against the Panthers passing attack.
With a win, the Buccaneers clinch the top spot in the NFC South.
We expect all three linebackers to be back by the start of the playoffs.
