Buccaneers place Louis Murphy on injured reserve, make practice squad moves

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially placed Louis Murphy on injured reserve, ending his season. The wide receiver suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, which will keep him out well into 2016 -- possibly even affecting his participation next season.

The Bucs did not announce a replacement for Murphy, but it's likely they promote Rannell Hall, Adam Humphries or Evan Spencer from the practice squad to fill that role. Vincent Jackson's injury is still undisclosed, which means they may need some extra help beyond an undrafted practice squad candidate, though.
