Depth a question for Bucs at receiver after Jackson and Evams

LOREN ELLIOTT | Times

TAMPA — The Bucs purchased three cryogenic chambers for their training room that are set at minus-200 degrees to help players make a fast recovery. They may want to find a way to put receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson in a deep freeze after every game this season, because if either gets hurt, Jameis Winston is going to be swallowing a lot of footballs.

That's because after Evans and Jackson, the Bucs don't have (m)any proven pass catchers.

Eight of the Bucs' 12 receivers are 24 or younger. If you don't include Louis Murphy, whose status is unclear since he still is recovering from a torn ACL, Adam Humphries has the most NFL catches of the non-starters with 27.
