The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receiver corps won't be at full strength in Week 13.
Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter announced Friday that DeSean Jackson (thumb) will not play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reported.
Jackson, who suffered the injury in Week 12, was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Without Jackson, whose 750 yards receiving ranks second on the team behind Mike Evans, the Buccaneers are likely to lean on wide receivers Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries to pick up the slack in the passing game.
In some positive news for Tampa Bay, running back Peyton Barber, who's battling ankle and shoulder injuries, was a full participant in Friday's practice.
