TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Adarius Glanton is recovering from surgery Tuesday morning after suffering a broken left leg on Monday Night Football, a source told ESPN.
Glanton suffered the injury when he collided with teammate Robert Ayers as they both attempted to sack Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Glanton's leg got rolled up under Ayers and bent awkwardly.
He was immediately put into an air cast and taken to the hospital. He underwent surgery Tuesday morning. Glanton had stepped in for starter Lavonte David, who missed the game with a hamstring injury.
