Bucs WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) out against Panthers

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers with a thumb injury, coach Dirk Koetter announced Friday.

"I'm not sure past this week but DeSean will be out this week," Koetter said.

Bobo Wilson is being called up from the practice squad to replace him, a source told ESPN. Wilson has not been active all season but caught a touchdown against the Panthers in Week 16 last year.

Jackson suffered his injury in Week 11 against the New York Giants but continued to practice and play.
