Bucs May Use Committee to Replace Jackson

In the wake of , the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done what any good organization would do when faced with a loss of productivity: They've convened a committee.

Jackson started each of the Buccaneers' first five games as the wide receiver opposite top target Mike Evans, even finishing last Monday's win over Carolina after suffering an ACL injury at some undetermined point in the contest. He was on pace for his lowest full-season receiving totals since 2006, but he still filled a very important role in the Bucs' offense and did it with his trademark consistency. Now, somebody will be stepping into his spot in the starting lineup, but that player won't necessarily be asked to replace everything for which Jackson was responsible in a typical game.
