Bengals Defensive End Sam Hubbard Suffers Left Calf Injury, Won't Return Against Bucs

Cincinnati's defense is shorthanded.

TAMPA — Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering a left calf injury in the first half. 

The 27-year-old is a big part of Cincinnati's defense. Without him, they'll have to rely on Cam Sample and Joseph Ossai. 

Star defensive end Trey Hendrickson is inactive due to a broken wrist.

Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo may have to get creative if the Bengals are going to slow down Tom Brady and this Buccaneers' offense.
