Bucs CB Aqib Talib is done for the season after tearing a tendon off his hip bone in the team's Week 13 loss to Atlanta.
It's a monster blow to the Bucs' chances of securing a playoff berth in an extremely tight NFC, let alone their outlook for advancing. Easily the team's best player on defense, Talib leads the Bucs in interceptions (6) and pass breakups (11), and is also Tampa's top cover corner by a wide margin. The downgrade to E.J. Biggers is beyond major. Talib at least will avoid surgery. He should be healthy by the start of 2011 spring workouts.

I hate to see teams lose players to injury...Rough Game to say the least!
