As if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed another injury concern at wide receiver, now Emeka Egbuka is dealing with an issue in the second half of the Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Egbuka appears to have suffered the injury at some point in the first half, as the Bucs didn't have a second-half offensive drive when the Bucs announced his injury.
Prior to his injury, Egbuka had two catches for 24 yards and was operating as the No. 1 option in the passing game with the team already dealing with multiple receiver injuries.
Here's the latest on the rookie phenom's status for the rest of the Week 6 game versus the Niners.

END OF UPDATE
Egbuka has a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return, the team announced. A doubtful tag pretty much means he's going to be out.
