Buccaneers Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen suffered a left ankle injury on a touchdown run late in the first quarter, but remained in the game.
By video, left tackle Donovan Smith was pushed and fell onto Jensen's lower left leg on the touchdown run.
Jensen remained on the ground, then walked to the blue medical tent to get the ankle taped and returned on the next offensive series.
Dr. David Chao, ProFootballDoc, said he believes the 30-year-old center avoided serious injury to the ankle, but swelling could be an issue later in the game and in the next round, if the Buccaneers move on.
Jensen's mobility will also be limited on the injured ankle.
Tampa Bay is already down all-pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs to a right high ankle sprain, meaning Jensen will likely tough out the injury.
