Knee Injury to Force Russell Gage of Buccaneers WR to Miss 2023 Season.
Receiver Russell Gauge of the Buccaneers will reportedly sit out the 2023 campaign due to a knee ailment.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gauge is done for the season after suffering a severe knee injury in Wednesday’s joint practise versus the New York Jets.
After the non-contact injury occurred, the 27-year-old had to be taken off the pitch.
It was reported by Pewter that Gauge could not bear any weight on his injured leg. Team reporter Scott Smith noted that “he was in obvious duress” while being evaluated by trainers.
The team wasn’t expecting good news, head coach Todd Bowles said to reporters after practise.
“We hear it’s going to be pretty serious,” Bowles said at a news conference on Wednesday. Since he’s been here, clearly, he’s been putting up a fight.
We hope for the best for him; something obviously serious happened based on the way he was sitting on the truck. We wish him the best and will see what happens.
