TAMPA, Fla. -- The Buccaneers on Thursday placed running back Charles Sims on injured reserve.
Sims suffered a knee injury when he got rolled up on in the opening kickoff of the second preseason game against the Tennessee Titans last Saturday.
Sims has been primarily used as the Bucs' third-down back. In the last four seasons, he appeared in 47 games with two starts, catching 129 passes for 1,190 yards and six touchdowns and rushing 245 times for 958 yards and two touchdowns.
A third-round draft pick in 2014, Sims' best season came in 2015, when he recorded 1,090 all-purpose yards.
