Logan Mankins helped off field vs. Panthers
By Josh Hill
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Logan Mankins just a few days before the NFL season started, but it hasn’t taken long for him to get injured and have to leave a game for Tampa Bay. Mankins debut with the Bucs lasted less than a half before he had to be helped off the field following what looked like a knee injury.

Mankins seemed to have buckled his knee during a play, and initially needed help getting off the field but eventually walked off under his own power.

So far the Buccaneers haven’t been able to produce much offense and losing Mankins won’t help. It’s unclear if he just rolled his knee or this is something that will keep him out, but the Buccaneers need to make sure everything is firing on all cylinders this season.
